Error: Could not create printer device context

You may get the following error you try to print or preview a return.

Error message

Could not create printer device context

This error is due to UltraTax CS not being able to properly identify the printer you're using.

Try restarting your computer to reload your printers and drivers.

If the error persists, go to File
, Print Returns
, then Printer
.

Select a valid printer. If no printer is listed, there's a problem with Windows loading the print drivers.

Contact a qualified IT technician.
