Hi!
I do not know all issues related with the printing approach you described. Just for your information:
If you think this is a security (authorisation) issue, try following 2 ways:
1. Create a DLL COM object and register it under COM+. When registering, you can specify user accound/password that will be used for running your COM object.
2. Run the DCOM manager and specify user account/password for running your COM object It should be EXE COM object in such case).
HTH.

The com-server needs to create a postscript file that will be processed by Adobe Acrobat into a pdf-file. When running the test-exe two postscript files are created in a specific directory.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
