Could you not create a local admin account with a secure password, then have the service autostart with that account?<br />
<br />
How many users are involved? Depending on what you need there may be alternative written at a reasonable cost?

I have written a basic service to track what is being printed and how many pages are being printed. I have used the PrintQueueWatcher.dll from merion. When I install the service on a windows 8 64bit machine using localsystem acount, the PrintJobEventArgs does not seem to fire, when I change the service to run as a local administrators account then the PrintJobEventArgs fires and I am able to capture the print job information. <br />
<br />
Any help on this would be greatly appreaciated.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
