The above system is 64bit, this means that the 64bit print driver will need to be installed and this can be found in the following location, C:\ProgramData\Mecmesin\Emperor\Force\Crystal Reports Runtime.

The installer that needs to be run is ‘CRRedist2008_x64’, before installing remember to close Emperor down.
