vi front panel printed

[amose]

hi,
i have a real strange problem and don't know even where to start.
i have a real complex program running on a PC that is connected to my net with a VPN.
every time one of the VIs executed it tells a printer at my location to print the front pannel of this VI.
when running the same program on another PC at the same point i got this strange messsage that the program is attemptint to go to some pdf quick-books files.
the VI is attached.
any ideas will be welcomed
thanks

You did not include all the subVIs for your program, although I do not think it will help.  On the PC that is working unexpectedly, it sounds like it is attempting to use the Quickbooks PDF printer driver to print the front panel.  Quickbooks includes this printer driver so that you can use t to create PDFs out of Quickbooks.  The user of that PC may have set that printer as the default printer.  Try going into Control Panel and see if the printer you want it to print to us set to default.  If not, change it and see if that fixes the problem.

hi mathew and thanks for the quick response.
what you wrote gave me a hint. what happens is that the VI front pannel is sent to the default printer.
the main problem is that i didn't ask Labview to print the front panel and it is not mentioned in my code. (the truth is i never did a thing like that before)

Oh, I thought the printing was desired.  Go to File->VI Properties for the VI you posted.  Change the category to Print Options.  In the section Print with Execution, you have the automatically print front panel every time VI completes execution checked. Uncheck it.  Check to see if you have it checked for any of your subVIs, too.
