When I try to print cheques using Adagio Payables v6.8a I get the following error:

hpbf3120.drv - Pure virtual function called

I don't get this error when using a different printer (an HP Laserjet III, and and HP Laserjet 4000T.) I get this error on each computer I have tried it from (3 different ones). I have tried the PCL 6 and PCL 5e driver supplied with the printer and I've tried updating the driver from the HP website.

I have read the response to hwpl regarding the HP1200 printer error, and I created the cheque specification using a sample that had MICR encoding, but I deleted that portion as our cheques are printed with the account # etc. Is there any other change I have to make so that it is not trying to use MICR encoding?

Does anyone successfully use an HP Laserjet 1200 printer to print cheques, and if so what driver are you using, or do you have any suggestions?

What printers, that are on the market currently, and are not too expensive (in the same range as the HP 1200), are being used successfully to print cheques?

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Hi bd,

If you've verified that the MICR font on the check specification is the reason for the print checks problem, then we're halfway there. On some sample specs, there will be 2 fields that incorporate the MICR font; you would have to make sure that none exist. There won't be anything 'hidden' on the specification in regards to MICR font. Simply preview the spec in the designer, and if you see any fields with the MICR, you can remove them.

Do you need anything MICR on your checks, or do you have pre-printed check forms? If you have forms, then this could be solved just by making sure there are no MICR fields on your spec.

Though we do not have an HP1200 printer here, I have worked with an HP4050. I also ran into problems printing checks with MICR using a PCL printer driver. I seem to recall (though my memory is hazy) that when I used a similar driver but without PCL, my check batch printed to the same printer successfully. Some trial and error may be necessary.

Your printing situation will probably be solved with a different driver, so you won't have to buy a new printer.

Hope this helps.
