Question: Mike, we own Sage 100 ERP (formally MAS 90), while printing to paperless office, the system just hangs and does not complete or respond.
Answer: This normally means the Paperless Office PDF printer got corrupted or that security permissions are locking down access to the Paperless Office. This can be corrected with a few steps:
- Uninstall and Reinstall the Workstation Setup
- Go to the Start Menu / Devices and Printers in Windows and Right click on the "Sage PDF Converter"
- Select "Printer Properties"
- Navigate to the Ports tab
- Click "Add Port" and Create a New Local Port called "Sage"
- Click Apply
- If you receive an error adding a port you’re in a high security environment, see "High Security Suggestions" below.
- Navigate to the Security tab and add select the "Everyone" group. Select "Manage This Printer" and "Manage Documents" under the Permissions box
- Click Apply
- Accept all changes and test Paperless printing.
