"Print Job Busy" when printing multi-file reports

Former Member

Situation: Our company has been using Crystal XI for 14 years, and recently we have been encountering issues generating reports on Citrix terminal server environments. The issue is not consistent, but frequent enough to be a problem. Machines only have the CR11Runtime DLL's installed, not full Crystal designer. The Crystal report (commonly invoices or statements) prints out into multiple PDF files with a printer provided for the font information. The report runs for several (dozens) of pages when it throws the error "Print Job Busy" and fails to generate output for that page/file. All future pages/files will instead generate the error "No print window is opened".

Need to determine why Crystal is running into the active print job, and why that error causes all future output from the report to fail.


Log portions we are capturing:

11:58:30: Exception trying to export [C:\Users\Flintstone\AppData\Local\Temp\4\Draft_Notice-Multi-115829.pdf].
11:58:30: 11:58:30: Email error: Error:524 Error in File :
Print job busy.

Followed by:

Licensed Support for crpe32 ended in CR 9, 15 years ago....

And no idea of any current supported Windows operating systems....

Time to upgrade to CR for .NET which you can get here:

Update to VS 2010 -> 2017 and convert your C++ app to a Managed app in VS and replace crpe32 with or .NET components..

There is a printer test app I wrote in C# here:

Or a C++ sample here to get you going:

Good luck
