    ​I installed 2018 Standard on clients machine for review. in 2017, she is only getting Defer as her print option.  Printers are there, Default printer is setup.   I have tried everything, uninstalled 2018, reinstall 2017 wksetup, reinstall Crystal.  Rebooted.  What am I missing??  thanks!

    Folder / share permissions to MAS90.  Deferred means Sage can't get to the report files to format the output.

    I did check, all users, full control.  Other users aren't having an issue, just the machine I just worked on. ​

    Same user from another machine doesn't have the problem?  Is there a missing mapped drive?

    Other users are fine.  They are using a UNC path, not mapped drive. I did try it with a mapped drive, no difference​

    when you look at the printers on the workstation are all of them in READY status? if not try removing any invalid printers.

    I would tend to still think it's permissions-related somewhere on the server.
    What happens if you log into a different computer as that person?
    What happens if you log into the problem computer as 'administrator'?
    (I'm referring to logging into computer, not Sage.)

    Can you open \MAS90\Reports and create a new text file?

    I am doing this remotely so I can't try this.  Everyone else went home for bad weather!  ​Everything was fine on this station before I installed 2018.

    OK, re-did setup again. Rebooted.  Printers are there the first time I go into Sage after the reboot, but when I try and print I get the message no printers installed, and then I get the Defer printer option.  I can create a folder and text file in the Reports folder.

    Oh!  I didn't catch that you were having 2017 problems after installing 2018.  Copy this file from the 2018 path into 2017 path... This is the fix for the new Crystal Reports runtime.

    Resolution to this....it was an issue with Print Spooler on her machine.  I use screenconnect for unattended sessions.  It "appears" that every time I rebooted her machine, it remapped my local printers.  I had about 50 printers under my name listed on her machine and it was killing the print spooler.  I have not ever seen this happen, but once I deleted these, everything worked fine.  I was so focused on Sage being the issue, I didn't think about looking at this.  Thank you Alnoor!!  ​

    If using RDC, disabling shared printers is what I do as a matter of routine now.
