Total PDF Printer X hangs when called from service

Hey there

I'd like to use Total PDF Printer X from a Windows Service. The application is started, but the process hangs without printing anything. Am I doing something wrong?

I tried the same piece of code from a console application and everything works as expected. I guess it has something to do with being in a service application, but as I've seen it from the page, it should be used in services.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks, Fritz


PS.: System is Window 7 64bit, but i also tested to run the service as 32bit application without success.

I've exactly the same issue. We're using PDFPrinterX dll library . Below is our code. Process just hangs at pPrinter.print

Dim printer As String = "SHARP MX-4500N PCL6"
Dim pPrinter As New PDFPrinter.PDFPrinterX
pPrinter.Print(exportPDF, printer, "-rn 1 -bn 1"
pPrinter.Print(exportPDF, printer, "-rn 2-6 -bn 2"

The same code is used in a win form app, and the printing was great.
axPDFPrintDev.exe also printed without any errors.

Please advice!!!

Thanks
