can't print front panel graphics

I am unable to print any front panel graphics with either the file>>print function or the print at completion selection. If only text is on the front panel it will print, but any graphics will make the printer say that it is spooling for about 5 min and then say it is printing, but it won't. If I first print to HTML and then print from the webbrowser the printer works fine. Are there any reasons for this and any solutions?

What version of LabVIEW are you using?

What are your LabVIEW print preferences (Standard, postscript, bitmap, color, etc.) and what kind of printer are you using?

I am using Labview version 6.0.2, but also tried it out with Labview 6.1 . I have tried both standard and bitmap print preferences and am using an HP officejet v40, but have also tried a HP deskjet 1220C. Thanks

Could you post your VI to this discussion page? I'd like to try printing it myself on my printer and we'll see if it's printer dependent.

Hey nikb,
I ran your VI and it printed just fine on my machine. All I can guess is that the settings for your front panel may be off or something. Let me know what you find out.
