Question

I wrote a job that generates pdf files with salesQuotation report, the files are created in a network directory . This job works fine.

Then, I wrote a class that do the same as the job but in a runBaseBatch class.

It doesn’t work and I have the following error message in batch job form registry button:

The use of printer is prohibited on this server

If the server is the AOS, I have working printers on it, the created files are written on another Server that has working printers

I used reportRun class and printJobSettings() method, it works in job not in batch job.

Edit: thanks for answers, my config is now ok but I have the following problem: my runbasebatch class works only if the checkbox batch is not checked in the configuration runbaseBatch dialog, i can’t schedule my batch, if I check batch, I have no error but my files are not generated.
any ideas?

Answer 1

You need to make sure that the “Allow clients to connect to printers on this server” checkbox in Server configuration utility has been ticked, and AOS restarted.

I read somewhere that due to some bug the correcponding value in the registry should be tweaked, but I’d suggest checking if ticking the checkbox works first.
