Cannot get reports printed on a laser printer

I installed a new laser printer on the PC with Lookup loaded on it. Lookout does not recognized the printer attached to the LPT port. Windows XP is the OS and it prints a test page with no problem as does the other programs on the PC. The only printer it communicates with is a dot-matrix printer. There is a printer key (dongle) attached to the PC. Is the dongle/key specific to the type of printer that is attached? Is the dongle/key necessary for the Lookout program?

Hello,
Most likely, your only issue is that the laser printer is not set as the default printer.  To my knowledge, there are no hardware key versions of Lookout.  The key (dongle) is probably for other software such as AutoCAD for example.  What other software is in use on the machine?

For older versions (Georgetown era),  AND in only certain countries Lookout did require dongles.  I am guessing NI did away with them in recent years.  (Wouldn't the next logical step be to open the source up, eh?  Smiley Tongue  )
