2. Select the layout producing the error and then click the Edit button.
3. Once in the layout designer click File > Printer Setup.
4. Select a different printer which is known to work properly and is directly connected to the computer or over a network.
5. Click Ok and once in the Layout Designer click Save and close the layout.
6. Close and restart QuoteWerks and verify the issue has been resolved.

2. Click Save and close the document.
3. Re-edit that document and click the Picture button to re-add the image and then save.
