Hi, a user has posted this issue on Github where I have found the same problem.

Issue: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/3458

Description of issue: When trying to upload paper from https://arxiv.org/ the Zotero 6 generates error:

Checking file https://github.com/zotero/utilities/blob/master/resource/zoteroTypeSchemaData.js there is preprint
But no preprint in https://github.com/zotero/zotero/blob/main/resource/schema/system-107.sql as well as no such the in dataserver's itemsType https://github.com/zotero/dataserver/blob/master/misc/coredata.sql

    See Reporting Problems for the things we would need to debug this. There's no general problem with saving items from arXiv and syncing them.

    Make sure you're running a current version of Zotero.

    Zotero is self-hosted so I believe my ID report won't help.
    Steps to reproduce:
    - install Zotero
    - Create user
    - Create group
    - Associate user to the group
    - Log in to the user
    - Add hard copy of Arxiv PDF file
    - Synchronize --> KO

    --> Got the error "preprint' is not a valid itemType", nothing more.

    Preprint schema is avalaible here: chrome/content/zotero/xpcom/translate/modules/utilities/resource/zoteroTypeSchemaData.js but it is missing in coredata.sql and system-107.sql which should add it in the database.

    self-hosted versions of Zotero are unsupported, you should ask whoever does the hosting to look into this.
    If I had to guess, it sounds like server and local schema versions are out of sync.

    @Aitianshi: Please do not post here about any usage with self-hosted servers (and doing so without even mentioning it is really not OK).
