I have an application on our server, the application's job is to print a file. When I run the application I see the printer start spooling in the printer window, I see files (briefly) get written to c:\windows\system32\spool\Printers before being deleted but nothing comes out of the printer.
I have printed a test page from the printer so I know it's working (the document I want to print is a pdf and I've printed that through acrobat acrobat to the same printer on the server so I know it's not an issue with my document either). I have run the application on my local windows 7 machine and it works fine. I have checked the error log and there are no errors.
I'm at a total loss, what might be stopping the printer from printing? (The printer is a sharp mx-2640N pcl6, I've checked the drivers too)
EDIT:
The application I'm trying to run is a bespoke console application created in c# using the system.printing to handle printing. It passes every test I throw at it (apart from the print, and this works everywhere apart from Windows Server 2012), all its peripheral functions work fine on the server.
I am remoting into the server and launching the application from there, the application is on the server. The application appears to run fine.
When I print from acrobat reader I get the following event IDs, that result in a print; 800 (spooling), 801 (printing), 307 (confirmation), 805 (rendering), 842 (confirmation - sen to printer)
When I "print" from my application I get 800 (spooling), 310 (Deleting)
