When I run through development environment,it is working fine. But after creating a installer and run like it as a background service that time I am getting error like below **

                {
                    using (PrintQueue networkPrintQueue = new PrintQueue(networkPrintServer, networkPrinterName,PrintSystemDesiredAccess.AdministratePrinter
                          ))
                    {
                        PrintSystemJobInfo printJob = networkPrintQueue.AddJob(networkPrinterName);
                        networkPrintQueue.Refresh();
                        printJob.Refresh();
                        printJob.JobStream.Write(bytesToPrint, 0, bytesToPrint.Length);
                        printJob.JobStream.Close();
                        return PrinterSuccessfullyCompletedPrintJob;
                    }
