This error indicates that the system cannot find a processing program associated with the specified output type and medium.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Output Type Configuration: The output type you are trying to use may not be properly configured in the system.
  Incorrect Medium: The medium specified (e.g., print, email, fax) may not have a corresponding processing program defined.
  Custom Output Types: If you are using a custom output type, it may not have been set up correctly in the configuration.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Output Type Configuration:
