This error may occur if you try to select **Lasernet Screen** or **Lasernet** within the **Printer setup** menu when trying to print a document.

This error is thrown when the system is trying to use a Lasernet printer incorrectly.

### Resolution

Follow these steps to resolve the error:

1. Within **Printer setup**, select the standard AX Printer option, and within **Name**, select a non-Lasernet printer.
2. Select **Lasernet** or **Lasernet Screen**, and then print the document by clicking **OK**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note

> If the report is a Query, you may not see the standard AX print destination options. In this case, follow the next solution in this article.

If the issue persists or if you do not have the option to select the standard AX Printer option, check the default printer within Windows.

Navigate to **Control Panel** > **All Control Panel Items** > **Devices and Printers**, and set a non-Lasernet printer as the default printer.

In the following image, we selected an HP printer, not **Lasernet Print Capture** or **Lasernet Reference Printer**:
