 NOTE: Restart the computer and try printing again before trying these steps.

Insufficient user rights

  1. Right-click on the Sage 50 Icon, then Run as administrator.

Printer not available or Incorrect Printer Selected

  3. Confirm the Printer is set to a printer that is available. 
     NOTE: If there are multiple entries for a selected printer, test both to determine which is the correct entry. 
  4. Verify you can successfully print the document type.

Windows Errors

  1. Check to see if the sample company gives same error.
  2. Try changing the printer to XPS document writer or a PDF printer and see if you get the same message.

Restart the Print Spooler Service

  3. Try to print again.

Reinstall the Printer Driver

  1. Remove and re-add printer.

The error occurs while batch emailing

If a single email doesn't send, see the previous sections

  1. When batch emailing, some number of emails successfully sends, but eventually the error occurs for each remaining email.
  2. If this occurs the total number of emails sent has exceeded the computers ability to print .pdf files to attach to the emails it is sending.
  3. Create the emails in smaller batches to avoid the issue.
