exception 10h

[ranl]

I received an error message: "excpetion 10h in module lvrt.dll" while trying to print to a hp 1220c printer on a windows95 enviroment. the problem is that this is a printing fuction written 10 years ago, that I cannot touch, on labview 5.0. is there a way to go around this problem???

thanks rani.

Rani,

The 10h (divide by zero) exception error was pretty common with HP printers/printer drivers 7-9 years ago. I ran into it with several programs, including LabVIEW. As I recall, one workaround was to configure the printer settings to disable the bi-directionality. You will not be able to get diagnostics from the printer, but that allowed printing in many of the cases. Alternatively, you can use a different (non-HP) printer. I think there may have been one or two other things to try, but I no longer remember what they are. You may want to try the HP website and search for the 10h error there for ideas/workarounds.

Regards,
Aaron

Thanks fo the tips. However, The solution I found eventually was to use the windows driver instead of the the provided hp driver, and that seems to solve the problem.

thanks anyway and I hope that I could help others.
