TITLE :MFX Draw: Changes for Remote Printer Settings Blocked by NT
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
---------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
---------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
You cannot change printer settings using Micrografx Draw.
CAUSE
=====
Micrografx Draw attempts to make printer changes, such as paper
orientation and other settings, for all users of the printer, not just
for Draw Plus users.
To make sure that one user's changes to the printer configuration do
not affect all users, Windows NT blocks the application programming
interface (API) call that Micrografx Draw uses to execute a universal
change, unless the user has NT administrative privileges. Other
Windows-based applications (such as Ami Pro, CorelDRAW, PageMaker, and
so forth) do not attempt universal changes; thus, printing functions
are not affected when you use NT.
RESOLUTION
==========
Users cannot run Micrografx Draw, or any other application that
behaves similarly, without administrative access to the remote shared
printer.
NOTE: Widespread access to the remote shared printer is not a
recommended solution. When administrative privileges are too common in
a system, the environment loses its security.
The following products are manufactured by vendors independent of
Microsoft: PageMaker by Aldus Corporation; CorelDRAW by Corel Systems
Corporation; Ami Pro by Lotus Development Corporation; and Micrografx
Draw by Micrografx, Inc. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
regarding these products' performance or reliability.
