    Hello SDixon578,

     

    If you try having Commander work as an application, does it print properly (from the "Administer>Service Setup..." option)?

     

    1. If that is the case, then the problem is probably in the user account running BarTender in the background. Please make sure to do the following:

     

      a. Make sure that the Commander service is running under an account with enough access rights (the "Local System Account" is nearly always insufficient).

     

      b. Access the "Detection>BarTender Command Handler Setup..." dialog and, under the "User Account" tab make sure BarTender is not running under any user account (deactivate that option).

     

    *With the above setting BarTender will inherit the access rights of the Commander service.

     

    2. On the other hand, if as an application Commander still doesn't print, select the "Detection>Show All Running BarTenders" option (with Commander still running as an application), send a trigger file and let me know what error you see appearing in BarTender.

     

    Regards

    This option is greyed out.  How can I fix it?

    When I have commander work as an application it prints properly

     

    1. a. Commander service is running under "Local System"

    1. b. Bartender is not running any user account

     

    2.  When I show the running bartenders with commander running as an application, Bartender prints without error.

    Hello nhandley,

     

    Please note that the "Local System Account" is a very limited one that most of the time doesn't offer enough access rights for Commander to work (as is the case in your system).

     

    Please make sure that the Commander service is running under an account with enough access rights and try again.

     

    This account will need access to:

     

    - The scanned folder by Commander.

    - Any document that BarTender will need to access and print.

    - The printers meant to be used by BarTender (local, shared or networked).

    - Any other resource that BarTender or Commander will require (such as database files).

     

    Regards.

    I have the same problem. Nothing prints out does not matter which option (service or application).  And I don't see any error.  Please help. Thank

    Hello Phu,

     

    With Commander running as an application activate the "Detection>Show All Running BarTenders" option. This will display an empty BarTender window. When you then trigger a print job it will display the document meant to print and any error message that could be preventing the print job from happening.

     

    What message are you seeing when doing the above?

     

    Regards.
