Virtual Printer Starts Up Kurzweil 1000 or 3000 with Wrong User


This article applies to:

  • Kurzweil 1000

  • Kurzweil 3000 for Windows



Symptoms

When the user runs an application and use it to print to the KESI Virtual Printer, the Kurzweil 1000 or 3000 starts up, but it is running as the wrong user. This may mean that the options are not set as expected, or the default directory for opening and saving files is wrong, or certain files and directories can not be accessed.

This problem can occur on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Cause

The Virtual Printer runs the Kurzweil 1000 or 3000, and so the 1000 or 3000 run as the same user as the Virtual Printer is running. If the Virtual Printer was launched by the user's application, then everything will work properly. But if the Virtual Printer was run by the print spooler, then it will be running as the same user that the spooler runs as: typically, the System user.

Solution

Go to the Printers control panel and display the Properties dialog for the KESI Virtual Printer. Go to the Advanced tab. Select the "Print directly to printer" option and click OK.
