Problem Note 31703: CONTENTS= option generates errors when no default printer is available
If the CONTENTS= option is set to YES on the ODS PDF statement and there is no default printer set for the SAS session, the following errors are generated:
ERROR: There is no currently selected printer driver. Use Print Setup to select
an installed printer driver.
ERROR: No logical assign for filename
ERROR: Internal error trying to set up "page i of n" processing. Could be caused by out
of memory, out of disk space, or internal coding error. Check for other error messages
above indicating probable user error or resource constraints; if there are none, or if
they make no sense, please report this message and provide a test program to SAS Institute.
Output will continue without PAGEOF support.
In order to prevent the errors, install a valid printer driver or invoke SAS with the following two options in effect:
-uprint
-uprintmenuswitch
