When I get a .pset file set up, I go to add the files by dragging them to into print organizer. After it apparently loads all the files, I get the following error. Any ideas?
"Exception encountered inside [WorkerMicroStationProxy.LoadDesignFile] "
Message details:
The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state."
Thanks for any help,

You most likely have a vertical product installed that is not compatible with Print Organizer's non-graphics worker process. For example, GeoPAK 8.11.5, Byers plotting, personal MDL apps, etc.
Try with a default, unmodified untitled workspace. If that works, then add vertical apps one by one until you determine which one is causing the problem.
.
I was getting the same error when loading files into print organizer Using MS 08.11.05.17 and GPK v. 8.11.05.39, since we have no other vertical apps I assumed this was my issue.
I actually figured it out, if you edit the geopak.cfg (C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation V8i\MicroStation\config\appl) and comment out the MS_DGNAPPS variable (see below) it stops geopak from autoloading and you can now add files into print organizer without recieving the above error.
#MS_DGNAPPS < $(SUITE_INSTALLDIR)bin/gpkstart.ma
(edit cfg files at your own risk...and always make a backup before doing anything!!!)
Another workaround is to edit geopak's .cfg file to prevent it from doing anything when MSPrintServer is defined. The problem with GeoPAK 8.11.5 is that the application loads even when MicroStation is running in a non-graphics context. My understanding is that they have fixed that in their latest version. However, I don't know if it's a fix in the product code or a configuration file modification. GeoPAK support would be able to provide you with accurate information.
