Anyone have ideas I am out of them.
I have a brand new Windows 2019 VPS running AlphaAnywhere that was installed via the Universal Installer And it seems the Alpha Printer was not installed.
I have tried (several times) installing the Printers manually from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Alpha Anywhere Application Server\AmyuniV5\InstallAmyuniPrinters.exe" ... Nothing
Yep used the "Run as Administrator" option ... Nothing
I have followed the instruction that were in the release notes (from years ago I might add)
I have followed all the steps and not apply or fix my issue.
Here is a bit of a walkthrough of it all. https://www.screencast.com/t/RX0aVEwOlCoG
Any and all advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
Bruce

Report did not print. Error reported was:
Report Server: 'Alpha Five Printer' (for creating PDF, RTF and HTML output) is not installed. Re-install Alpha Anywhere Application Server at line: 27
The error indicates that the Amyuni Printer Driver (also called the 'Alpha Five Printer') did not install properly on your server machine when the Alpha Anywhere Application Server was installed.
Here are some things you can check to resolve the problem:
That indicates the print driver did not install. This can happen for a couple reasons.
The first issue can be checked and corrected fairly easily. Log onto the server machine with administrator rights. Open the "Devices and Printers" from the Windows control panel and see if the driver for "AlphaFivePrinterV4p5" is installed. If it is, then open the "Printer Properties" and verify the printer is assigned to a port. Normally, it is assigned to a NUL port.
If the printer isn't listed, open Windows Explorer or My Computer, and look for the folder that contains the Alpha Anywhere Application Server program. It would normally be at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\a5V12 ApplicationServer
Find the subfolder named "AmyuniV4" and find the file "InstallAmyuniPrinters.exe". Right click on the file and select to "Run as Administrator". A window should open showing the progress. If it fails to install, check any error message. If it fails, the last issue may be the problem as Windows may not install any print driver if the spooler is not running.
If the driver is installed, or installs correctly, then the problem may be is the user rights. If running the Application Server as a service with any, or under AlwaysUp, make sure the user login is not the "Local System Account". That account does not normally have printing privileges. Is is best to run the program under a user with full administrator rights

- If you were not logged in as an administrator when the Application Server was installed the driver may not have installed.
- The driver may have installed, but isn't assigned to a port.
- The Application server is running under a system account
- The server is running under Server 2012 or Win 8 and the Windows Print Spooler is not running
