Can't print from Accounts Hosted

edited May 2020 in Accounts Hosted
I am using Accounts Hosted 2016 and had some changes happen over night, including the way printing works. Was working fine this morning but now when selecting print the print box appears, then a note saying 'printing report please wait' and then it disappears and nothing happens.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

    Hi Rachel,

    Could you please try ending the session via the Hosted control panel, logging out and then retrying?

    Does this occur when attempting to print anything via Hosted or just a certain task?

    Thanks - have tried that, deleted history and restart computer.

    It is happening with all forms (invoices, purchase orders, sales receipts etc). Currently not working on 2 of our 10 logins.

    Thanks

    Thanks for getting back to me Rachel,

    Does this also happen on alternate browsers as well?

    Also, are you able to check if your local printer is set as the default option when attempting the print job through Hosted? ie. your usual printer

    It doesn't even take us to the print screen for us to choose what printer to print to. The last screen that pops up is 'printing report, please wait' and then that disapears and nothing comes up, which would normally be where we can select the printer
    Thanks

    Thanks Rachel, does the same thing happen on another browser?

    If you're using Chrome, can you please check this -
    Chrome > Settings> click the "Advanced Settings" link at the bottom > under the PRIVACY section click the "Content Settings" button > Scroll down at the very bottom and see if the PDF Documents is ticked.

    If yes, please untick this and try again.

    Let me know

    Hi Rachel, 
    Have you tried cross check and see if this maybe due to a web browser update? we have reports of this issue indicating is due to a local PC web browser problem, I would suggest try a 3rd party web browser such as google chrome or firefox (other than the one you are using now) and verify what the printing situation like on the other browser.

    I am having exactly the same problem as Rachel both in Safari and Google chrome. This problem needs to be fixed urgently as I need to print end of month invoices and end of financial year reports ASAP.

    I was printing, but not the 2 stage PDF printing. Now I can't print at all.

    Hi folks, Are you all experiencing the same issues that Rachel has outlined in her post? And just confirming it occurs on all browsers?
  • IanCIanC Member Posts: 9

    I have found a work around by Saving the item as a PDF on Reckon. Then down loading it and printing from the PDF. Long winded but gets the job done for now.

    Rav, I was printing straight from Reckon to my printer, no PDF display in between since the last update. Then about 1 hour ago stopped printing all together. Which occurred about 15 seconds after my last print.

    Confirming it happens on all browsers for us. Chrome is our default but tried on IE and Firefox.

    We are doing the same IanC - definitely long winded but better then nothing!

    Thanks for your reports everyone, We're investigating, I'll update the thread as soon as I receive further info on progress. I'm really sorry for the hassle and frustration!

    We're having the same problem!  Not printing on any server.

    Comes up with offering "Reckon Printer  (redirected 52) on TS005 "  but when you click on print it proceeds as tho the report is printing but then all disappears and nothing further comes up????????????

    FYI I am using Microsoft Edge, while my colleagues are using either Chrome or Internet Explorer. They are all having trouble, but I am fine, touch wood.

    Hi Ian,

    How do you download the PDF saved on the Reckon server? I tried the "download file" button, but can't get a working PDF to download. Instead, it offers a text file to download.

    I've tried on both Microsoft Edge & Google Chrome.....no joy.

    Hi Sean,


    Go to FILE>Save as PDF, save document in My Live:

    Remember where you saved it.

    Go to the Toolbox>Download, and retrieve the file from where you saved it.

    Hope this helps

    Hi again everyone,

    We've still got the team looking into this but in the meantime can I get a few of you to please try clearing your browser caches, then logout and end the active remote session via the Hosted control panel.
    Once that is done, can you please open a new browser and try again?

    Let know how you get on,

    Thanks guys
    Rav

    until issue resolved, we are using "email" option to print. bit quicker than long-winded "save as pdf".

    This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Can't print from RAH 2017 at all. The print method was changed on RAH 2016 on Friday.  This seemed to work ok from Mac using Firefox, Mac using Chrome and PC's using both Firefox and Chrome.

    As requested we upgrade all our company files to 2017 and now cannot print at all.  

    This is the key to an accounts system - the ability to print.  Can you please sort this urgently.  None of your NZ support numbers are working and your NZ telephone numbers are not working - either than or your website needs upgrading.

    THIS IS URGENT PLEASE

    Anyone else with any ideas to solve this please also help.

    Very frustrating that upgrades are not fully tested before release.  Smll glitches I can understand on an upgrade but not being able to print - really!!!!!!!!

    Yes, I did all of that...BUT, the download is a text [.TXT] file that has web addressing in the naming string, and cannot be renamed to a .PDF to restore.

    I think I'll have to use the email to myself method, until this issue is resolved.

    We're looking into this at the highest priority as we speak Shane, apologies for the frustration.

    Check out the post from IanC above on a workaround he is utilising in the interim, it may be useful while we're getting this sorted.

    More info to follow
