Print from a Web Service?

[Selden]

I have a web service that launches Word, and prints documents. It has been
very interesting, trying to configure and get everything going. It's almost
working now, but some documents just sit in the print queue with "error -
printing" in the status column. The event log shows error code 3003.
Strangely, a few of the documents actually do print though.

Any idea what's going on, and what to do about it?

Hi Selden,

ERROR_SPL_NO_STARTDOC (3003) code means that a StartDocPrinter call was not
issued. You receive this error code when the print spooler cannot send
data to the port. The print job is marked as "error printing." Normally,
it will happen when there is no enough permission to access the file or
port. Is your web service use impersonate or run under a local
administrator account? If you try to change the port for the printer, will
it get better? Also, is it possible for two user use the web method at same
time?
