- Connection Errors
- The operation has timed out
Known reasons:
- Bad printer configuration
Solution:
- Start ServiceBroker in console mode. If you can print, it means that the Run As User of the ProdumexServiceBroker windows service does not have right to use the printer, you should configure a Run As User who can use the printer.
- In case of network printer try to install the network printer as a local printer for testing purpose.
- The type initializer for .rpt threw an exception
Known reasons:
- Crystal Reports Runtime Engine and Add-on or ServiceBroker 32bit and 64bit versions mismatch
Solution:
Please double-check if you are using only 32bit or only 64bit for all the installed components.
