Sage 100 Paperless Issue: Printer not activated, error code -41 or Printer not activated, error code -30

May 21, 2021 by Wayne Schulz

We are receiving calls from Sage 100 users who observe an error while attempting to print from Sage 100. In many cases, the company is making use of Sage’s paperless office feature which allows for printing of journals, registers, reports, and forms to a PDF file.

The error messages are typically one of the following:

  • Error Code -41
  • Error Code -30
  • Unable to process the lockfile
  • Printer not activated
  • Cannot create PDF
  • PDF not created successfully
  • Prompt for location to save PDF

The cause of this error is frequently a Windows update replacing or modifying the driver used for the paperless functionality – AMYUNI – to either an incompatible version or remove some key registry folders which can result in this error.

The fastest way to correct paperless errors is to reinstall the paperless driver to the affected computer(s).

In order to reinstall the paperless driver, you must be logged into Windows as a user who is a member of the local Windows administrator group on the computer you are reinstalling.

From the Sage 100 main menu select File – Run and type in PL_AdvancedOptions_UI

From the resulting dialog box you can uninstall the drivers and then click install and test

If the above steps work you should see a successful test during #3 which will be a pdf appearing on your screen with a success message.

Below is a short video from Sage support which illustrates the above steps to reinstall the paperless office driver for Sage 100.
