[.03] Printing problems on Windows 8.1

2013-12-17T10:12:15-04:00

Windows 8.1 Pro, Sandboxie 4.07.05 (64 bit). The printing problem appears to have returned in Windows 8.1. It worked in 4.07.04. No changes to my system.

I did not make any changes to the Windows 8.1 printing fix, but whatever has caused it to behave better, that is good news.

Have you changed anything Tzuk?
Since 4.07.5 i wasn't able to reproduce the issue, ressources stay the same two, but printing works fine until now.

Printing Issues

2013-12-09T22:45:14-04:00

Please disregard my previous reply, I manually deleted the contents and rebooted and everything is working fine again. There may still be an issue, but I'm unable to recreate it, sorry for the confusion.

Printing From IE11 under Windows 8.1

2013-12-09T22:29:12-04:00

I was running Sandboxie 4.6 and was receiving an error while trying to print from IE 11 using Windows 8.1. I read the forums and it looked like 4.7.04 was the answer. I upgraded and it seemed to be working. A day later and after reboot, etc. it's no longer working. I've tried rebooting, etc. I'm now receiving the following error. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Script Error

An error has occurred in the script on this page.

Line 1905
Char 1

Name changes, handle stays the same.

Before restart of spooler

After restart

At this restart time printing still works.

If it helps, I find out some other point:
The OLE ressource for restartet spoolsrv starts exactly at the time I open the printing dialog (no matter if for sandbox programs or outside).

Could it have something to do with the fact, that I have multiple printers installed?

I reviewed the code again and I'm afraid I don't see where the OLE resource would fit. So no solution yet I'm afraid. I'd like to ask you to check something else. You say that after restarting the spooler service, it works for a while. Can you please use Process Explorer and check if the actual name of that LRPC resource changes?

That is to say, restart spooler, check and note exact name of that LRPC resource, also note the process ID for spoolsv.exe. Then after a while, when printing stops working, look at spoolsv.exe again. Is it the same process ID, and does the LRPC resource still have the same name?

Maybe I am facing a similar problem but I keep getting that same error as SLE. Thanks tzuk for looking into it.

I have no idea how to trigger these OLE resources in spoolsv.exe. I don't see them on my test system. But I will add some code to treat the OLE resource the same way as the LRPC resource, and we'll see if that fixes the problem.

Right, just after reboot of pc both handles are there. Before I start something in a sandbox.

tzuk wrote:If you restart spoolsv.exe and it comes up with just the LRPC resource, can you identify when it adds the OLE resource?
Does it do that in response to something that you do?

I works some time after spooler restart via CLI (for printing within and without the sandbox) but after some time the OLE resource came back. I tried some time but wasn't able to find a more specific pattern until now.

No printing jobs inside and outside at the same time.

If there is something possible to trigger it deeper (procmon?) than just let me know.

* * *

If you restart spoolsv.exe and it comes up with just the LRPC resource, can you identify when it adds the OLE resource?
Does it do that in response to something that you do?

Are you trying to print in the sandbox and outside the sandbox at the same time?

* * *

I've been experimenting a bit with printing on my test 64-bit Windows 8.1 system and everything seems to work fine
even when I switch between more than one user account, and between printing in the sandbox and printing outside
the sandbox. So I need to understand what to do to trigger the errors.

Interesting to see an \RPC CONTROL\OLE* resource in your screenshot, SLE.
Tell me please, when you restart the spooler service, do you still see an OLE resource in spoolsv.exe ?

Printing still doesn't work on Win 8.1. x64. Sandboxie 4.07.04. (Message: no printer installed)
If I stop and restart spooler service it works - but then ONLY for sandboxed programs and only for the current session.
