2.50g Error code -40 printer not activated

We are occasionally getting an Error code -40 Printer not activated when attempting to print to PDF using our application.

Once this error has occured then the only way we seem to be able to overcome it is to reinstall the Amyuni driver, a system reboot results in the same error.

We are using Visual Studio 2005 and the code that is failing is written in C# using dotnet framework 1.1

basically the code is doing this:-

Code: Select all

IntPtr converter;
converter = DriverInit("Digita PDF Converter");
if( converter )
{
  if( EnablePrinter(converter, "Our Name", "Our License Key" )
  {
    SetDefaultPrinter(converter);
    SetDefaultFileName(converter, filename);
    SetFileNameOptions(converter, 0x8000003);

    // Do the print job

    RestoreDefaultPrinter(converter);
    SetFileNameOptions(converter, 0);
    DriverEnd(converter);
    converter = IntPtr.Zero;
  }
}

Any ideas please as this is causing problems for both us internally and our customers.

Thanks

Think I have solved the problem, the license key the app was passing was for the 2.1 driver and not 2.50g.
