NPrinting exl file to Sharepoint

[Jimi]

Hello,

I am trying to share a report from NPrinting to SharePoint or to another server folder.

I get error:

Error trying to save report in folder '\\servername\C:\Users\jimi\Desktop'. ERROR: The given path's format is not supported.

The user has access to the folder!

I have tried different ways but no luck, I am using NPrinting 2022

Thanks 🙂

Hello ,
Please review the below link regarding Nprinting distribution to folder. UNC paths are required. 

1. Distributing reports to folders

Note the following : Mapped network drives, like Z:\NPrintingServer\QlikViewDocuments, are not supported by Qlik NPrinting. You must use Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths, such as \\ServerName\NPrintingServer\QlikViewDocuments.

In addition to Ray's points, please note that the NP service account won't have access to files on your desktop.

It is necessary to ensure that:
--files are kept in a centralized location

--the NP service account "scheduler server" need full file and folder access to network or local folders.

Kind regards,
