Run the Service Client with a local user

Some printers need a special working environment for comrce cloudprint. For them, the normal installation of the Service Client isn’t enough. The service needs a real local user account with admin rights. If you entered this account during the installation, you can skip the configuration on this page.

  1. Open the Start menu, type “Dienste” (Services) and press Enter. The services console opens.

    The Windows services console "Dienste" (Services), in German, showing "Dienste (Lokal)" (local services). In the long list, the row "cloudprint-Client" is selected. Its description starts with "comrce cloud…", it is running, starts automatically and logs on as "Lokales System" (local system). The other rows are pixelated. On the left, the panel for the selected service offers the links "beenden" (stop) and "neu starten" (restart), with the description "comrce cloudprint lokaler Service".
