Error printing Financial Statement...

#1

Post by mburbidg »

We cannot print our monthly financial statement because of an application error received when we print. A dialog with the following message appears when we print the monthly financial statement:

Exception javax.print.PrintException: java.awt.print.PrintException: A StartDocPrinter call was not issued.

How can this error be resolved?

Is this print error only with financial statements in MLS or is this a general print function error for MLS?

MLS printer problems for financial statements (PDF documents) has been reported for several years. We have not been able to identify a single cause. Nor have there been any universal solutions. It appears that the printing of PDF documents from MLS, financial statements and so on, is sensitive to the print driver used. One thing that has worked for past print problems for financial statements is to make sure the printer selected in the print dialogue is one that is compatible with MLS.

There are many other things to try. We need to know what specific steps you take to print and what dialogue box options you have selected. Is there more than one print driver (printers) available in the print dialogue? Which ones have you tried? Which ones cause this print errror? Have any changes been made to printers recently, updates?

Did the print problems start after an update to MLS? If so there could be a problem with MLS's JRE installation. This cause is not likely if all other MLS print functions are not having problems.

I'm not at the church right now, so I can't answer all the questions. This is not a general print function error with MLS. Many other printing operations work in MLS.

We will get over to the church and try to get more information to answer your questions specifically.

Thanks,

We are also having the same issue. Was there any solution? We are using a Xerox Phaser 3250. The only time we get this error is when we try to print from the Financial Statement Preview window. Any other area works fine (IOS, All other Financial Statements, etc) We are also on a Dell Optiplex 7020 running Window 7.

It appears this is still a problem. Some have been able to work around the problem by printing to a pdf file (CutePDF, for example), and then printing directly from that file using the operating system.

I'm also having this same problem and have to use the CutePDF workaround.

I've carried out all the workarounds suggested by the MLS support team. This includes totally uninstalling MLS, deleting the specific Java installation and all the files/folders under the LDS Church folder. Also some files under another hidden folder. Sorry can't remember all the specifics. Rebooting the computer and then doing a fresh install!
