Check printing in progress

“Check printing in progress”, “other check printing in progress”,”bank code in use by another task” error message in AP or PR

When trying to print check you may receive the “Check Printing In Progress” error message when in fact there are no checks printing.

This error message will not allow you to proceed any further.

To resolve this issue, first verify that nobody is printing in either Payroll or Accounts Payable.
