Resolving Error Code -30 attempting to print from Fixed Asset Manager

ProSeries Fixed Asset Manger does not support printing to PDF. This error happens if the printer is set to one that is not support, like the ProSeries PDF Printer. To resolve this you would need to print to a physical printer, or a 3rd party PDF printer such as Adobe, BullZip, PDF995 or DMS.

Open Fixed Asset Manager.
From the File menu, select Print Setup.
Under Printer Name field, select the correct printer from the list.
Press OK.
