I have Sage Line 50 V4.o1 and have loaded on to my new computer. I can see all off my customers and invoices etc, but when I try to print an invoice I get a message "Unable to connect to data source, check configuration". Any ideas

You are on a VERY old version and you are unsupported. (It was released when we were on Windows 3.11 and Windows 95 was new!)
However...
I expect it is an issue with the ODBC drivers, version 4 used the 16 bit drivers internally although on any modern operating system you would want 32 bit drivers.
In the installation directory you will find an ODBC folder, if you browse down into it you will find an executable called setup.exe (it might be in a subdirectory called disk 1, I can't check as I no longer have that version) you need to double click it to install it.
If you want to use ODBC you will also want to install the 32 bit drivers which are in a folder called ODBC32.
Working from meory here, so please don't shoot me if I have things a little wrong, e.g. the folder might have been called ODBC16
