    I am having the same error when trying to print anything to file.

    I've rebooted and ran the PDF and Component Repair Tools for Lacerte and ProSeries with no luck.

    I reached out to support and they had to manually configure the printer driver and give me an activation code.

    When I spoke to support the told me to do the following:

    Settings

    Options

    Setup Tab

    Change "Auto Generate & Attach PDFs to Efiles" from "Yes" to "No"

    OK

    Efiling should work now for this client.   DONT FORGET to change the setting back to "Yes" after.

    You can get around the E-Signature request by scanning in the 8879 (and any others) and unchecking the 8879 checkbox in the E-Sig pop-up box - then select "other document"  browse and attach the scanned in ones. The document/s will open and you have to manually add the signature and date prompts before sending. This way you can still attach billing etc.

    The problem still exists when trying to E-File however.
