"There is no defaut printer selected [EPrinter]"

The "There is no default printer currently selected" error can occur in any of the following conditions:

No printers are currently installed. 

Install a dummy printer in Windows' Printers control panel applet.

No default printer is currently selected.

In the Windows Printers control panel applet, set one of the available printers as the default printer.

The default printer name is longer than 80 characters.

In the Windows Printers control panel applet, rename the default printer using a name of less than 80 characters.  You may also need to temporarily select a different printer as the default, then re-select your original printer as the default once again.

Windows is inconsistent in the way it returns the names of the printers on the computer.

If Windows returns two names for the same printer that do not match exactly this error will result.  This may be alleviated by temporarily selecting a different default printer, then setting your original printer as the default once again.

If none of the above situations apply to your computer, please contact Maximum Output Software for further assistance.

A future update for FileBack PC will be better equipped to deal with the situations listed above.
