Make a print out of a printscreen

[Cheese11]

Hi there,

I want to make the following function:

I have a program that is running.

In that program I want to make a button for printscreen and a button for print.

When pushed on the printscreen button, I want to save a printscreen.

And when pushed on the print button, I want to print the screen on the printer.

Greetz,

Kenny

OK.... So what are you having problems with? The VI Server has the Print:Panel to Printer method that you can use.

Hi smercurio_fc,

I found that function.

But when I want to print by pushing the print button, I get the file that you can see in the attachment.

Regards,

Kenny

Were you using a PDF printer driver? Have you tried printing to an actual printer? Some PDF printer drivers do not render graphics very well.

I first tried to print it on paper.

But when I saw that it went wrong, I switched to printing with PDF to save paper.

[smercurio_fc]

What exactly "went wrong"?

[Cheese11]

It didn't print the page.

The attachment in my previous post was what also the printer did.

So that went wrong.

Do you got any idea what the problem can be?

[smercurio_fc]

Can you post your VI (the actual VI, not an image of it)? Do you have some sort of graphic on the front panel?

Hi,

This is the VI that I am using.

I don't know if you can Run it because it has some things build in for our scada-system.

But you can give it a try, and maybe you can find the problem.

The part that I build in to print the page is almost at the right.

Remember, I just want to print a screenshot of the page.

I don't want to print all the block diagram etc. etc.

Regard,

Kenny

Oh yeah, what I forgot to tell.

I want to make a print of a Graph, don't know if that gives any problems?
