HELP! Printer Delivery Extension AND Forms Authentication NO[at]SPAM

Hi,

I need some help with making the Printer Delivery Extension play nicely with
RS equipped with Forms Authentication/Custom Security. We have been using the
forms authentication for some time but just recently decided to implement the
Printer Delivery Extension.

The Problem:
With Forms Authentication, the Printer Delivery Extension CANNOT SEE NETWORK
PRINTERS.

I am sure this has something to do with permissions but what I am unsure
about is how to go about resolving this issue.

Basically when we try to use a network printer and then try to specify that
network printer for a subscription using the Printer Delivery Extension, the
Extension calls the IsValidPrinter() method which loops through the
PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters collection looking for the printer I
specified. ONLY the local printers are displaying in that collection, no
network printers. I know this because I attached to the process and debugged
it inspecting the contents of that collection. So I know for sure NONE of the
network printers are in there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
