Printjob in the printer spooler

[SoftToon]

Hi,
I use windows XP prof and CVI 6.0 on a testsystem.
When I print a text file, the first few files are printed good. But after a while the printjob's status is "printing" and there is no reaction what so ever.
Even deleting the printjob fails. The only whay to continue printing for a while is to reboot the system.
When I reboot the system, all the printjob in the spooler are executed.

Thus anyone now what the problem is ?

Hi,
CVI relies on the OS printer driver to handle print jobs. I doubt if there is some issue with the way CVI handles the print jobs, as there is a very large installed user base which do these kind of things. Things I would recommend you to try is to check if there is a newer printer driver from the vendor available. See, if CVI can print on a second (other) printer. See if it is related to a local or a network printer. Also check the printer properties. Check if the printer is set to "spool print documents" instead of "print directly to the printer". You may also want to try if the example "nirsample.prj" runs. This example does not use printtextbuffer however. You can find an example of how to use the printtextbuffer function at: Programmatic Print Options in CVI (Orientation, Font)
