Labview 5.1, I don't succeed to print a report (error 41002) using the full printer path name. Could you provide me examples? Thanks

I already tried the tips given by the Document ID: 1VNE8JR5, but without any success.
When I don't provide a printer name (or path), the Report is printed on the default printer. This printing works fine under Win98, but it doesn't work on WinNT or WinXP.

Denis,

I ran the Text Report example on to a network printer on a Windows 2000 machine by typing "\\tempest\ae01", our 2nd printer in the Applications Engineering department, and the report printed fine. What are you using for a remote printer name?

Hello Randy,

Thank you for your answer.
The printer name is "R&DHP4000TN" and the printer server name is: "SERVEUR_BDC".
So I think the full path of the printer should be:
"\\SERVEUR_BDC\R&DHP4000TN"

Maybe, the printer name is too long, or the "&" is not correctly interpreted.

Kind Regards

Denis

What's your opinion about this ?

Denis,

I am not sure. Either one of them may be possible. The only way to find out is to rename the printer (if you can) and try it out.
