Check what is being printed.  Are there a lot of blank lines in any text? If so, delete them.

Are there emogies in the text eg :-)

Is the report customized? If yes, hide the custom report and use the standard report.  Does this print? If it does then the issue is with the custom layout.

Instructions relating to Windows 10 Machines

We have two options that might work:

Option 1

Install the Microsoft Hotfix 5001633 applied to the computer / server with the Infusion datafile on it.

Option 2

Windows 10 KB5000802 update also resulted in issues for software-based printing, which includes LibreOffice, Notepad, and even print to PDF functionality was affected in rare cases.

Fortunately, a proper fix for the “APC_INDEX_MISMATCH” bug is now rolling out and it will also patch your printer issues. For version 20H2, the hotfix is in the form of Windows 10 KB5001567, which is currently marked as “optional quality update”.

Option 3

Go to the registry and navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\GDIProcessHandleQuota

Increase this value, try around 10000.

Support staff or your IT Company will be able to assist if you are not confident in doing this.
