NPrinting Service Account not executing job

I have created new NPrintingTadm service id. This id is not able to run jobs. It comes back with error.

Error The default printer for this Windows user's account is invalid! Verify and correct your Windows settings

When I use other id QlikviewTadm or My own, it works fine

On the NPrinting server:

-log in as the NPrinting server service account

-Create any printer and make it the default printer

-Test again.

The issue is the no default printer has been added to the NPrinting server service account on the NPrinting server.

If you are not able to create a printer, you may not have administrative rights or the print spool service may be turned off.

Hi Frank,   Thanks for the reply... Interesting situation is that If I use NPrintingTadm service account , it fails. If I use QlikviewTadm account, it works.   Both service accounts are local admin on node which has NPrinting service running and also local admin of QlikView server where QlikView documents are sourced.. I login to remote server which has NPrinting service running using my own credentials. I can not login to that server using either of them as they are not in remote login group. One work and other does not work... I am lost.
