We were seeing an error when trying to print to Excel from Sage 300 CRE.
The error thrown was: “Printer not activated. Error Code -30”
This worked for me to fix the problem. I think the issue was created a long time ago, and upgrades didn’t fix the issue.

I was able to fix it using option A:
Resolution |
Reinstall (install) TS PDF Generator:
Option A:
- Click your Windows Start Button and select Control Panel.
- Select Devices and Printers.
- Select the TS PDF Generator printer and remove.
- Select any printer listed then click Print server properties from the menu above.
- Select the Drivers tab.
- Select each instance of the Amyuni Document Converter and click Remove.
- Run the PDF Converter install from the following location:
- Wininst folder on the server …\\Servername\Timberline Office\9.5\Accounting\WinInst\Prerequisites\PDF Converter\RunAmyUnilnst.exe

If this does not get your TS PDF Generator installed correctly then try the steps outlined in Option B.
Option B:
Use the instructions to completely remove and reinstall the Amyuni PDF driver
- Open Devices and Printers (Printers and Faxes on Windows XP), click on the TS PDF Generator and delete it (Remove Device).
- Reboot computer (very important step)
Note: Make sure the TS-PDF printer has been removed, if it’s still listed there may be pending print jobs keeping it installed. - Open C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86 and delete all ACpdf*, ACFpdf.txt and Cdintf* files. Delete these files from any sub-directories as well. If the machine is a 64-bit OS, you will also need to search for and delete the same files from the C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\x64
- Delete the amyuni_amyunidocumentconverter* directory if it exists.
- Open C:\Windows\System32 and delete all Cdintf* files.
