Word can't “print” an MDI file under limited user account (but it works as an admin)

Question

This is the fourth in an increasingly narrow and increasingly annoying series of questions related to a hard deadline today.

Anyone know internals of how Word "prints" MDI files? My limited users have R/W access to the directory they're to be saved in, but the files are not getting saved. This process does work under an administrator account - the file is successfully saved and preview is launched.

Suggestions for debugging this?

Answer 1

Perhaps a sorry print driver wants to put its temporary files in an admin only location? I had a pdf print driver that did that and I changed the rights to the dir and all was good. You could use FileMon or other utilities from SysInternals (now Microsoft) to find this.
