Report printing?

Hi,

I want to print a report in labview 6.02 but can only print on my local (or
default) printer, is ther a vi in labview that displays, all the available
printers, so that i can choose between them?

Best regards,
Thijs

Thijs,
With Print Report.vi you can specify any printer that is configured for use with your computer. By default, the "printer name" input is not wired. If you do not enter a printer name, then this VI uses the default printer set up on your computer.
There is no LabVIEW VI that will give you a list of all the printers configured on your computer. You can try with some Windows API functions. There are some VIs that will allow you to access some of these functions. You can download them from:
Windows API Function Utilities (32-bit) for LabVIEW

For all the other Windows APU functions, you will have to use the Call Library Node.
