Hi,

Is your NPrinting meeting all environment requirements?

Error is telling you everything you need to know to troubleshoot it. There is a file which NPrinting engine needs to use and that file is:

corrupted or locked
or nprinting service account cannot overwrite it/read it/use it
or is locked by other user or antivirus software
or nprinting account does not have required privileges set (although it should have local admin rights)

Investigate what is preventing service account from reading from that location and you will know what causes it. This is not typical NPrinting issue - it is an issue in your environment.

Make sure you meet ALL requirements for NPrinting environment and service account and connection from https://help.qlik.com

regards

@triplip
Is the logicalbi user being used by more than one user to design reports?
If so, this too will cause a file lock. Only one 'logicalbi' user should be editing the report.

Also If a different user is editing the same report and left the designer open on their desktop, this too will keep the file locked.

Kind regards...
