When trying to print a report to pdf/rtp the software just crashes. I have looked at the search paths and uninstalled and reinstalled the program but still have the same probelm.
Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be please?
See screenshot.
I don't know if you are having the same problem we have here once in a while of not, but we run into a similar problem here once in a while. Sometimes it prints just fine and other times it just sits there and does nothing like what you are experiencing. Same as any other feature of PC DMIS, no rhyme or reason. But, what ever. We only use PC DMIS on our Romer Arm. We have found that when this happens, if we just turn the arm off, then the report prints, don't ask me why.
You see at the bottom of your screen where it says LPT1, yea if you're trying to print a PDF and it says "LPT1" it's going to crash.
Open up devices and printers Right click on the PDF-40 printer and select "Printer Properties" if you select the one that says properties you will be at the wrong screen. Select the "Ports" tab. Select the port labeled "NUL" If you don't have this port you will need to google how to add this port, it's easy I'm just not going to go through it here. Click "apply". Close this window and reboot.
Now you don't need to reboot if there aren't any files jammed up in the print que but save yourself a lot of hair pulling and just reboot the machine.
Print a PDF. Enjoy.
I realize it's an old post but...I just reinstalled pcdmis 2013 and pcdmis would freeze and then crash when trying to print to file. This solved that issue. Thanks
