I found a work-around. A bit cumbersome, but in a pinch this might help.
Print federal only, then go to NY and print just IT-201 and then print each schedule till you print out everything you will e-file.
For the TR-579, print the prior year out, cross out all 2024 info, hand write in 2025 info for client to sign. 
This will work if client in in front of you to sign. 
E-filing is ok, it's the printing of the state return that's the problem, as far as I can see. 
I e-filed one return this way and so far NYS has received it, but hasn't acknowledged it yet, but they usually take a few days. The IRS already accepted the return.
Good luck, everyone.
BTW, there is a problem with non-cash contributions not generating form 8283 if non-cash totals are over $500 in the aggregate. However, if you have a donation of more than $500 to one organization, the form will print. 
Are we having fun yet?
