Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi,
I'm using the lastest version of XAMPP for Windows (1.7.4). For a PHP project, I've to do an application to print a PDF document in server. For do it, I'm using Foxit Reader. With the command "exec" of PHP, I'm executing the command of Foxit Reader for printing. All is Ok if Apache is executed as application, but when I use Apache as service, printing is done regardless of the configuration of the printer. For example, the quality of the printing is not the same that I've configured.

Any idea?

Thank You

Hi,

the problem is, that Services run under a special account and for this account you cannot configure printers. Therefore the default settings are used.
You should create a new account (a non-administrator account would be a good idea), log on as this user, configure the default printer and then let the Apache service run as this user (run services.msc, search for Apache2.2 and type in the log on details under the "Log On" Tab.
