Hello,

Do you know a workaround to this problem:

When trying to run a report (Reports 2.5) in batch mode on the server, if nobody is logged on the server, or somebody without administrators rights, the printing doesn't work:

        Message "REP 3002 Error initializing printer. Make sure a printer is installed"

  • If a printer name is used for DESNAME parameter, then the message is : Message "REP 0713 Invalid printer name ..."
  • Using the workaround for Windows NT bug Q132168 (defining printer with administrator rights, then saving the profile, or running the service with administrative priviles) doesn't help.
  • Thinking that the IP address, the print queue name, the printer driver or the port would be a solution is not valid as well !

Any suggestion is welcome !

Best regards,
