Install and test the printer in Windows under the account running Muhasib. Know whether it is a receipt or standard printer.

Before saving, check that the correct company is open and that you have permission to complete this task.

How to Resolve Muhasib Printing Setup Problems in Muhasib ERP

Overview

This guide will help you isolate whether a printing failure comes from Windows, Muhasib printer registration, assignment, permissions, or document settings.

If this issue is stopping your work, do not worry. Follow the steps one at a time, and check the result before trying again.

Correcting the relevant mapping allows Muhasib to send output to the intended queue. Renaming/removing a Windows printer can leave the stored logical mapping invalid.

Who can do this

You need access to The task's print permission; printer maintenance requires Printer access/update.

Before you start

Record the document type, company, location, terminal, logical printer, Windows queue, and whether other Windows applications can print.

Before saving, check that the correct company is open and that you have permission to complete this task.

Where to find it

Back Office → Essentials Setup → Manage Printers, Locations, and Terminals as needed.
