Common Issues
- When creating a new bpac.DocumentClass you get the following or similar error message:
Error Message ‘System.IO.FileNotFoundException: ‘Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {B940C105-7F01-46FE-BF41-E040B9BDA83D} failed due to the following error: 8007007e The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E).”
Possible Cause: Incorrect bPac architecture installed for project, ie x64 Project and x86 b-PAC version installed.
Solution: Install x64 b-PACSDK or Vice Versa - No SDK Error, but print job not appearing in print que.
Possible Cause: Printer not supported by x64 b-PAC SDK.
Solution: Confirm if using x64 SDK, if so confirm if your printer is supported. Some older printers only have x32 support.
