Note: Additional work has been found. For sites still experiencing an issue when printing in 2020, go to Office Setup in Configuration and make sure you select “No Cover Page” as shown below. This will fully restore printing until a fix across the board is available. Another option is to utilize a print set where the “Cover Page” is set to zero (0).

Software vendors received the below messaging from Pennsylvania.

MeF was shut down on the PA side on Thursday, May 26th due to an expired security certificate. We are trying to resolve this as quickly as possible (hopefully in the next day or so), but in the meantime we are not bringing in new submissions.

There is nothing for you to do at this time. Acks will start appearing once PA resolves their issue.
