check successful printing

[nikosfs]

Hello, I create a report, in which I insert only an image, as it is shown in the following image.

I print this report at the same time, but, i would like to ask, if it is possible to check if the report has been successfully printed.

For, example, if the printer encounters an error, or if the connection with the printer is broken, is the labview capable of recognising these types of events?

The only error that I can think, is possible to be checked, is the ethernet connection with the printer, via a command line batch.

Is there an easier and faster way to do this, in the LabView?

Thank you very much.

Hi nikosfs,

I do not believe there is a way for LabVIEW to programmatically determine whether or not the printer actually printed something to a piece of paper. The Print Report VI simply sends the command and data to print to the desired printer (or default printer), similar to any other program.

Thank you for choosing National Instruments.
