Verify connection error

slogue1234 — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 09:54:39 GMT

NPrinting can no longer generate meta data following Qlik upgrades (hardware and software).

Qlikview version - May 2024 SR1

NPrinting version - February 2025 SR1

NPrinting Designer version - 25.5.5.0

I am receiving the error: "The account used to run Qlik NPrinting Engine belongs to the QlikView Administrators Windows group on the QlikView Server."

I have checked all permissions and admin rights, all match the old server which had no issues. The only thing different between old and new servers is the 'Qlikview Management API' group - this is ticked on the old server, not on the new. Could this be causing a problem?

Thanks

HI @slogue1234

This may matter if you are using Claster connection and is documented

This is not part of a cluster, just single node. Would that change the advice?

I have created the QlikView Management API group and added the user to it, however I am still getting the same error when trying to create connections?

Thanks

hi @slogue1234
Please, connect to the NP Engine machine as the Engine user, open QV desktop and try to open the QlikView document in Server. Does this work?
Verify that the account used to run Qlik NPrinting Engine and the account in the QlikView Administrators Windows group is exactly the same. Ensure that this account has a token in QlikView.

Yes I finally got it working.

I added the NPrint user to the Qlikview API Management Group but still received the error.

Then the services Qlikview were restarted and the Qlikview servers were rebooted in response to unrelated service issues.

After this, the Nprinting errors cleared. So unfortunately I am not entirely clear what combination of steps resolved the issue
