  Output Type Configuration: The output type may not be configured to support printing. This can happen if the output type is set up only for electronic communication (like email or fax) and not for print.
  Medium Settings: The medium for the output type may not include 'print output'. Each output type can have multiple media settings, and if 'print' is not one of them, this error will occur.

  Review Document Type Settings:
  
  Check if the document type associated with the output type has any restrictions that prevent printing.
  Adjust the settings if necessary to allow printing.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to print the output type.
