run-time error 75

[sunny]

Don't know if this is the right place to post. If somebody can help
with this issue, it will be greatly appreciated.

We are using a 3rd party applications for our business. The
applications works fine when logged in as admin user. But when logged
as a limited user, we get a RUN-TIME ERROR '75'. This error comes when
we go to specify the receipt printer (epson tm-u200b : the printer is
connected via null modem) or even a laser printer (brother 1440). The
applications is developed using VB6. We can print to either printers
thru any other application (word or excel) plus the print a test page
prints fine. The application is loaded on a stand alone workstation.

Hi Sunny,

Some thoughts:

- Since other applications print for the limited users, it's not a
permissions problem with the print spooler.
- Since it works in admin mode, then it has to be a permissions issue.
- A limited user account generally inherits "read only" permissions on files
located in new folders, therefore if your application creates a program
folder on installation, this may be the issue.
- The run-time error pretty much confirms the above, as that is a file or
path access error (means the user cannot access the resource indicated in
the program).
