Invalid printer specified in Crystal Reports in ASP.net

Hariharan Krishnamoorthi

Hi All,

Recently we have migrated the Crystal report version to 13 and the asp.net application framework version to 4.0 and it runs in Windows 2012 server.

Some times when we print the report it works fine but after some time it throws the below error. We have to manually re-start the server to print the reports again.

Kindly check and provide your help on this.

Invalid printer specified. temp_e53631e7-4ae1-48d1-91e2-57ecb954b3af {510782D2-67B7-483B-8CFD-90433C51EFE5}.rpt

at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintOutputControllerClass.ModifyPrinterName(String newVal)

at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions.set_PrinterName(String value)

Thanks in advance.

How do you explain that sometimes it works, if it was a permission issue it wouldn't work at all.
thanks

It's about permission. You can not access network resourece with local account. So you got to setup local account and modify the machine.conf to use that account for your asp application.Also you need setup remote computer with printer has exactly user account.
