DOCUMENT:Q104746 06-OCT-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :Windows NT May Not be Able to Print Without Change Permissions
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
========
In Windows NT, if you are trying to print to a local printer and you
only have the Read and Execute permissions (with NTFS) to the
WINNT\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS directory, you may not be able to print
from an MS-DOS application or a command prompt (CMD.EXE).
The print job spools to the local print queue, but there will not be
any output. If you check the Event Viewer in the error (system) log,
there will be entries listing the print job request, but with 0 pages
printed. To remove the print jobs that won't print from the queue,
shut down and restart Windows NT.
RESOLUTION
==========
To print correctly from MS-DOS applications and the command prompt,
add either the Change or Full Control permissions to the
WINNT\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS subdirectory by doing the following:
1. Log on as an Administrator and open the File Manager.
2. Select the \WINNT\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS directory.
3. From the Security menu, choose Permissions.
4. In the Directory Permissions dialog box, select the name of
the desired User or Group and select the Change or Full Control
permissions to this directory.
You should now be able to print correctly from MS-DOS applications and
the command prompt.
