Error PDF Printer Unable to create working area

Post by Sanjay »

On trying to print using Bullzip, the following error message is being displayed.
"PDF Printer - Unable to create working area" and below this the path is dispalyed as shown
"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp;C:\notes\Bullzip\PDF Printer\"
I have tried all methods like uninstalling and resinstalling and removing any other pdf converter programs,
and rebooting actions, but the error remains and appears very difficult to handle.
Request for some immediate help.
Thanks in advance.

Can you send me a dump of your environment variables?

Try to open a command prompt and type the following line:

SET > vars.txt

This will create a vars.txt file. Open that file in notepad and paste the content in this conversation. My guess is that your TEMP variable is wrong.
