Can not Print any year FAM reports, have FAM 2023, FAM 2024. (Use FAM to import to Proseries as have over 1000 assets) Name can not be issue, as printed in 2023 FAM.  Now when go to either FAM 2023 or FAM 2024 - error - invalid print driver. Any suggestions?

I have not had that particular problem, but other programs like Word quick working with my "old" Canon printer that no longer gets software updates. I print to PDF, then print. Pain in the butt, but I am not yet ready to buy another printer. 

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

Thank you George, unfortunately, there is nothing to print, i.e. screen never gets any report at all or a blank report.  Thinking it is update issue, ie windows updates, but FAM Proseries did not update FAM, as that is a 'lonely' child, ie not at high priority.  I am hoping PROSERIES/FAM area sees this post and has a solution, as there was a old post with similar issue, but post replies were taken down? 

As 2023 and 2024 no longer print, but could do so in April, wondering what updates occurred, maybe as others have issue, Proseries/FAM will reach out to us, as most are long time users!

@30 Yrs Experience  Did you reach out to support already? I am taking a look on my side to see if there are any known issues causing this. Thank you

HI 

Thank you all for your replies. 

1) This is FAM, so the Proseries Tool Hub usually does not impact the FAM.  Also, when tried to download the new security on system, indicated it should NOT be downloaded?

2) Yes, I can print from all other programs.  I even can print from the Proseries 24 tax program.  

Does FAM NOT support some printers?  Note: I have various printers, and changed the default to another printer, and still nothing on screen!  The issue is it does not even generate a report (regardless of what report selected).  It probably is something very simple, but can not find at moment. 

PLEASE see if any onther findings., Intuit. Thank you.

Hi, 

Wanted you to be aware: 

1) Tested Each FAM file - all do the same - print invalid, no reports. 

2) Tested printer - works on Proseries, can print report. , Just not FAM. 

3) Tested FAM 2023 files - same invalid report - Worked in Sept 2024/ April 2024. 

What is the print drive file name? Would the print drive be the same being used regardless of version, ie why 2023 or 2024 doesn't work?  

Would the Proseries Tool Hub print function be something one can use on FAM? 

https://ftpfp.proseries.com/pub/proseries/toolhub/proseriestoolhub_setup.exe is the file to download, here is what my security on pc states: proserieshub_setup.exe was blocked because this type of file can harm your device, so unsure to download?
