PDF Printing using BI Publisher

Johnny98Apr 3 2013 — edited Apr 9 2013
Hello,
I'm using APEX 4.2 and trying to export some classic reports to PDF. I followed these directions to install BI Publisher:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/configure-printing-093060.html

Entered these values in the Apex Aministration Report Settings section:
Print Server: BI Publisher
Print Server Protocol: HTTP
Print Server Host Address: http://TOSHIBAUSER-PC:9704/xmlpserver (also tried with localhost and failed)
Print Server Port: 9704
Print Server Script: /xmlpserver/convert

Back in my Classic Report, I configured these settings in the Print Attributes tab:
Response Header: Report Settings (also tried with Print Server and failed)
Print URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:7:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R7671716059006280

I'm getting this error:
report error:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have never configured PDF printing this way and am pretty lost.
Thanks,
John
