🖨️ VIDYA Software Closes on Clicking the Print Button

⚠️ Problem

When the user clicks the Print button, the software closes or crashes instead of opening the print dialog.


🔍 Cause

The most common reason is a corrupted or incompatible printer driver.
When the application triggers the print function, the faulty driver may cause the software to shut down unexpectedly.


🛠️ Solution

1. Re-install the Printer Driver

Ask the customer to:

  • Uninstall the current printer driver from Control Panel → Programs and Features or using the printer manufacturer’s uninstaller.

  • Download and install the latest official driver from the manufacturer’s website.

  • Restart the PC and test the Print function again.

2. Assist With Driver Installation (If Required)

If the customer cannot install the driver:

  • Provide remote assistance.

  • Download the correct driver based on their OS version and complete the installation.

  • Restart the computer and verify if the Print button functions properly.


✔️ Verification

After restarting the PC:

  • Open the application.

  • Click Print and confirm the issue is resolved.


📋 Quick Checklist

  • Driver matches OS version (32-bit / 64-bit)

  • Driver downloaded from official manufacturer website

  • Avoid using generic drivers when model-specific drivers exist

  • Check Windows Update for optional printer driver updates


🔧 Additional Troubleshooting
