Possible solution--

It appears starting Quicken from the Start Menu or Quick Lauch, or by
double clicking on the qw.exe file will not allow the PDF Printer to
function correctly.

Solution is to use a Desktop shortcut to start the program and make sure
there is nothing in the Properties-General "Start in: " box.

If you do not have a desktop shortcut, the easiest way is to go to Start
Menu and right click on the Quicken starter and select "Send to Desktop".

This should stop the errors where the PDF printer appears to not be
accessible. Maybe it will help with the others also.
