A communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped

A communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped error occurred when trying to print (activex printing) the crystal reports in Dotnet using webforms.
The problem occurs when <Session state Cookieless="true"> is assigned in web.config.  Report prints when cookieless is set to false.  To enable Cookieless = u201Ctrueu201D the following have been incorporated in the web.config.
<configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="businessObjects">
      <sectionGroup name="crystalReports">
        <section name="crystalReportViewer" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler" />
      </sectionGroup>
    </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
  <businessObjects>
    <crystalReports>
      <crystalReportViewer>
           <add key="resourceURI" value="/crystalreportviewers12" />
      </crystalReportViewer>
    </crystalReports>
  </businessObjects>
and copied the crystal reports viewer folder crystalreportviewers12 in the application path.
Operating System is Windows 2003
Crystal Reports Version u2013 Crystal Report 2008 Service Pack 3 Fix Pack 3.1
The following are our observations
1.     Report prints perfectly when Crystal Report 2008 Service Pack 3 Fix Pack 3.1 is installed in Windows 2008 operating system.
2.     Report prints perfectly when Crystal Report 2008 Service Pack 0 is installed in Windows 2003 operating system
3.     Printing Communication error occurs when Crystal Reports 2008 Service Pack 1 or above is installed in Windows 2003 operating system.
Is there any settings or fix required to over come this issue ?
Is this error is specific to Operating System and Crystal Reports patch ?
Could you please provide me the solution regarding this.

Thanks Don.
when I verify the fiddler, on clicking the print icon in the viewer the aspx post back happens and refers to the url wrongly.  It is referring the virtual directory twice.
Ex. Actual url should be http://<servername>/<virtual directory>/<application directory>/report.aspx
But it is calling as http://<servername>/<virtual directory>/<virtual directory>/<application directory>/report.aspx
This above url problem occurs only during activex printing post back.  This does not occur during exporting the report and report page navigation post back.

    I am getting this error with CE10 when trying to print from the active X viewer.  My customer does not have IIS compression enabled and is not using a secured server, 2 reasons listed by BO as to why this could happen.  Any direction on this would be great, I can't seem to find anything relevant on this.  Please help...thanx.

    Thanks Ludek. I got it by searching KB number.
    Unfortunately, it didn’t fix my problem even my IE (IE8 and IE 9) has correct setting.  I double check my version. PrintControl.CAB is version 10.2.0.1146. we use VS 2005 Crystal report and VB .NET. It works fine on HTTP. But when we use HTTPS (SSL Certificate from go daddy).
    1: Crystal report export
                Export to MS Excel, Word: pop us “File download”, then click “Save”. It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
                Export to RPt, Rich text format: It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
                Export to PDF : nothing happened.
    2: Print:
                Pop up dialog to select printer, click “Print” “. Shows windows “Crystal Report Viewer” and pop us error message box. Title is “Crystal Print Control”. Message is “An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped”. Click “OK” and pop up error message box again.
    Please advise.
    Thank you very much!

  • "An Communication Error ocurred. printing will be stopped."

    I am facing this error message while printing crystal reports from my application. My system resources details are:
    IIS 7.0
    Crytsal reports 2008
    Microsoft server 2008 R2
    I have read all the possible solutions provided in this forum but unfortunately it did not resolve my problem. i have change IIS pool to classic from integrated. i have also disable some mimetypes in compression settings.
    Please note that this problem ocurred when there are so many pages (for example 1000). As far as my findings are that for some how Request objects and session objects get vanish and we can not move to next page after this error. Report source also get vanished after this error.
    Kindly help me on this.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Don for your response.
    I am already sending the print to windows XPS printer, and secondaly session timout is also definded to its maximum limit (i.e 20 mins).
    Our application consist of classic ASP and ASP.net pages. we have written a utility to transfer session of classic ASP tp ASP.net.
    One more thing which i experienced today is that when For testing purpose i put two different sessions in certain variables, one is classic ASP session (transferred to asp.net) and the second one is the session which was created in .net page. during printing error i saw windows event log and Error came at .net session. i moved those values to classic asp page. now error is not logging in event log and there is slight change in priting error. error message is now: "An Communication Error ocurred. printing will be stopped.do you want to view?" when i click yes it shows me empty page with no data.
    waiting for your response.

  • An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped

    Hello,
    For some reason some of our users are getting the following error message when they try to print their reports from Infoview.
    I searched the internet but was unable to find an appropriate answer to this query.
    Could some one please help me with this.
    Here is the error
    Crystal Reports Print Control (Printing is set to Active X)
    An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped.
    Any help will be highly appereciated
    Regards
    Jehanzeb

    Ok this one is a strange one.
    When I press print button from direct browser it gives me the above error however when I press the  + sign which is on the right hand side of the window (that brings up a new window), it prints fine.
    When I choose Active X for reporting, it prints fine.
    I don't understand why is it not printing with the following options
    Select a default view format:
    Web (no downloading required)
    Web ActiveX (ActiveX required)
    Web Java (Java required)
    Select printing control (for Web):
    PDF (Adobe Acrobat required)
    ActiveX one-click printing (ActiveX required)
    If the above is selected (selection shown in bold) under Infoview, it doesn't print.
    However if I choose the following option in Crystal Infoviewer Preferences, it works
    Select a default view format:
    Web (no downloading required)
    Web ActiveX (ActiveX required)
    Web Java (Java required)
    Select printing control (for Web):
    PDF (Adobe Acrobat required)
    ActiveX one-click printing (ActiveX required)
    This one after installing Active X, works fine.
    What is the problem and how come suddenly it stopped working?
    I have no idea.
    Anyone having the same issue with printing from Infoview?
    Any help, advise, suggestion will be welcomed.
    Oh and I have checked the ActiveX Addons under Internet Explorer and they are working fine.
    Regards
    Jehanzeb

    For solution 1, i have installed the latest patch for CRXI and problem still remain.For solution 2, its not really applicable to us because our IIS does not use compression.

  • An error occur on server. printing will be stopped.

    we have crystal report for VS 2010 Version : 13
    I have an issue regarding printing. when we print approx 200-300 pages, after printing near about 40 page, printing will be stopped with error "An error occured on server. Printing Will be stopped".
    Please help us....

    Use the search string 'printing stopped crystal net' in the search box in the top right corner. This will bring up a number of KBAs and other resources you want to consider. Also, make sure you are using Service pack 9.

  • HT201406 I was printing and printer jammed. iPad gives the command; an error occurred printing this document Cancel Try Again - no response to either command and the iPad will not let me shut down.

    I was printing docs from my iPad and the printer jammed. iPad's screen now shows: an error occured printing this document - Cancel Try Again - the touch screen will not respond to any command. Cannot turn it off, cannot cancel and cannot try again. I've turned the printer off and restarted it.

    Try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    BTW, you posted in the iPod topuch forum.

  • Help - Receive message "an error occurred printing this document" when using airport express and Ipad

    Hi, I am trying to set up an airport express hub to work with a Star tsp100 receipt printer and IPad 2. The IPad is being used to accept credit card payments and I was hoping to print receipts out wirelessly using the airport express and receipt printer. I checked to make sure the airport express has the latest firmware and it does. The IPad software is also updated to the latest 7.1.  I then connected the Airport express and IPad and the network setup with no problems. I connected the receipt printer to the airport express using the USB slot available. While the printer comes up as available, when I attempt to print something, I get the error message "An error occurred printing this document" and I can cancel or Try again. No matter how many times I try, I continue to get this message and I lost as to the cause. When I disconnect and reconnect, another instance of the printer appears, but receive the same cryptic error message when I try to print. Totally lost, please help

    Hi kelston3,
    In order to print from an iPad you will need to use a printer that is compatible with AirPrint, which is described in the following article -
    About AirPrint
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    AirPrint printers must be wireless on your network - not connected via USB to the base station. There is a list of printers that are known to be compatible with AirPrint in the article.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
