printing fails
Hi folks, We have a DTS job that data pulled from MSSQL to a printer. When I run the job myself, it prints out. But when I schedule the job, it fails. The error message isn’t much helpful. The error message is: SQL Server Scheduled Job ‘Centralized Printing ClientXXX’ (0x37900D4C21CB8C41812D25CAD98964E6) – Status: Failed – Invoked on: 2007-05-25 14:05:00 – Message: The job failed. The Job was invoked by Schedule 30 (Centralized Printing ClientXXX). The last step to run was step 1 (Centralized Printing ClientXXX). Can someone please help me on how to troubleshoot this issue?

If you don’t have the facility to login using Service account then you need to grant FULLCONTROL permission for that service account. Satya SKJ
