| Description | The document <document name> owned by <user name> failed to print. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: <error code> (<error code in hex>). |
| Event Information | According to Microsoft: CAUSE: This problem occurs when you do not specify the full path of the file you are printing to. If a file is specified as filename.prn, the file will be created in the %Systemroot%\System32 folder. Various users will have different rights to this folder. If you print to a file that is located in this folder, you may receive an "ACCESS_DENIED" error message. In this case, if you continue to write jobs to this same file, the spooler continues to try to print the job. This scenario can exhaust page-pooled memory and cause your computer to stop responding. RESOLUTION: To resolve this problem, provide a specific destination when you create a local file as the destination of a local port print job. Do not use the system folders. |
