Please guide me to resolve this issue.

You have not provided us with enough information about what your issue is, nor have you provided us with the code which actually fails. Can you please include the code for PrintBarcodes and a more detailed explanation? — Erik Karlstrand

From my error this error usually has to do with the file paths. Make sure the folder you are trying to save to exists and that you have write permissions.
