Hmm, no idea, I guess the easiest would be to change the user which 
starts the WPKG service.

But it would be nice to have a good workaround for such cases if we 
really want to run the service as SYSTEM.

1. Did you try "savecred" option in runas? It allows to save 
credentials, so that the user (can be SYSTEM I guess, too) don't have to 
type the password.

2. Are you sure the printer share can't be configured to be accessed by 
a guest user (what's the domain controller OS you are running? if it's 
Samba, I guess you have plenty of configuration options).


Let us know if you found a good solution.
