Hi Eric,

Did you ever get a work-around to this? I am getting this error when trying to print to Acrobat 5.0 and was searching these threads to see if anyone else got this error. I read the thread that mentions the MSDN notes on this but like you, wonder if there is a fix.

Thanks,
Albert

Whenever they run a report to a local printer, or even the Acrobat PDFWriter driver on their local machine they get a 1957 error - Error Accessing Printer Spooler. Sending jobs to the network printer works just fine. Needless to say, I can't reproduce it on my Windows XP machine.
