Firefox browser taking so long to print html report
I am using Firefox 18.+ version on Windows XP machine. My application is reporting tool. Whenever I try to print the html report, the firefox browser is taking close to 4min to start printing the page. The same report getting printed in Crome browser within few seconds. IE browser is taking close to 30 seconds. I tried followed the steps provided by the Mozilla support team
(https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox?esab=a&s=slow+printing&r=0&as=s ).
But there is no improvement. I verified that the printer has no issues, only in Firefox its taking very long time to send the document to printer.
Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure we can investigate this properly without access to the report, which I assume is not readily available to the public...
Could you test in a "clean" Firefox profile and see whether you can replicate the problem there? To do that, use the profile manager:
* Exit Firefox
* Start > Run > firefox.exe -P {ENTER}
* Create a new profile with the default location setting
* Start Firefox in the new profile and try to print
Any difference?
To switch back to your normal profile, exit Firefox, restart the profile manager and start up in your regular profile. You can return to your previous point using History > Restore Previous Session (assuming it was not a private session).

Print HTML Report.vi doesn't scale properly.
LV 8.5.1, Report Generation Toolkit, XP. Our application uses the Print HTML Report.vi to print an HTML report.
We found that on some installations the resulting page does not scale properly. Instead of being one page wide,
the printout is about 1.5 pages wide (and proportionately longer), leading to our report being truncated.
Tried different printers, different print drivers, no difference.
Finally we noticed that the affected computers all had Internet Explorer 6 installed. Updating to Internet
Explorer 7 fixed the problem. Don't know about IE8, I expect that will work as well.
Hopefully this will help someone else who runs across this problem. I couldn't find any reference to
an IE > 6 dependency in the Report Generation Toolkit readme system requirement.
MattHi Charlie,
The layout option is not wired to anything in the Standard, HTML, Excel and Word Report, but it is used in the Quick Print default case. The Help document for this VI mentions that the layout option is ignored on Standard and HTML Reports but does not mention the Excel or Word Reports.
This was discovered a little while ago in this discussion forum. And a report has be filed to R&D by Ben.

Print HTML Report Automatically after Each UUT
Hello
I saw the document on NI site called "Print HTML Report Automatically after Each UUT". That's exactly what I want to do with XML files. So I put it in my sequence file and it works fine, but when it opens the xml file at the first step, there's a pop-up from IE who say that "Scripts are generally safe, do you want to authorise this script" (This message is also displayed when I open my file in files explorer).
So, the print is not automatically anymore as I must answer to this pop-up. does anybody has a solution to bypass this pop-up ?
I tried to use the property silent on the class IWebBrowser2. Inded, the pop-up doesn't appear anymore, but my XML file isn't correctly printed. I supposed the default response of the pop-up (which is no) is applied. So the script isn't executed.
I also tried to configure IE to not display this pop-up : No result
Regards
LaurentHello,
I think that you need to configure your browser, can you take a look a this article:

Problem with NIReport.llb\Print HTML Report using IE.vi on different machines
We have 5 machines here in our workgroup which have the same state regarding security patches and other system updates. We recently found out that there is a problem with the NIReport.llb\Print HTML Report using IE.vi on the different machines.
If I would open the VI on MachineA the control could be loaded. If I would open the VI on MachineB the control could be loaded. If I would copy the VI from MachineB to MachineA and open the VI the control could not be loaded. If I would copy the VI from MachineA to MachineB and open the VI on MachineB the control could be loaded. MachineB could load the version from MachineA and MachineB but on MachineA only the own version will load. I have seen that both versions have the same GUID for the Microsoft Webbrowser but are different in some other aereas.
Since printing HTML Reports is part of the application which will be distributed as application I want to know if someone else have seen such a behaviour or has got problems distributing an application.
Also I want to know which additional information is stored in an Active-X container about the control beside the GUID.
We have Win XP Prof SP2 with MS IE 6.0.2900.2180 on all machines in the workgroup.

Don't forget to give Kudos to good answers and/or questionsHi Tom,
this is the VI <vi.lib>\Utillitiy\NIReport.llb\Print HTML Report using IE.vi copied from a machine that can load and run the VI and it will print. On this machine the control in the VI is white.
This VI will give the "Control could not be loaded" message on my machine.
The file shdocvw.dll is 2006-10-23 16:18 size 1.460 KB and I verifyed that both machines have the same version of this file.

Error according printing html report
I bulid a vi to print HTML report but I have problem printing this report .
I try ever to used some example which national Instrument bulid , such as Report Generation > Text
Report, but ever in this example I couldn't print the file (HTML).Wisam,
Could you tell us what procedure are you following to run that example? and also what version of LabVIEW you have?
The way you have to run that example (Text Report.vi) is that when you open it, in the control that reads: "Report Type" you select HTML, and also in the control that reads "HTML Save Path" you set the path like for example "C:\test1.htm", now run it and you should have now the HTML format type report. I believe that you also have in that same directory of examples another one called : Example HTML Report Report, that one also shows how to print a report to an HTML file. Try the example you mention setting up the controls that I wrote above and it should work. If not please contact us and we can try to send you an original example and see if i
t works. You can do it by this same means or by direct contact ( www.ni.com/ask ).
Good luck!...

Iam using 3015 network printer. while iam printing from word it is taking too long to print
Respected sir,
I am using 3015 printer. when ever i give print it is taking too long time nearly 1 minute . there is no problem with the networkLet's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

My Firefox browser is no longer working on my phone
I primarily use my Mozilla Firefox browser on my android phone. I went to use it yesterday and got an error message stating it was sorry and then wanted me to send the crash report. Then it said it sent the report and then goes right back to the screen wanting me to send the crash report again. It's just his in circles. How can I fix this?
hi thorvath, thank you for reporting this. unfortunately this is a problem with the android lollipop update that you've received on your htc one m8 from verizon at the moment.
there is a fix for this issue by mozilla already in the pipeline, so please look out for a firefox update in the google play store in the coming days. -
Cannot choose printer when printing HTML report
Hello,
I have lost many many hours trying to print correctly a report that is composed only of a JPEG image.
After a conversation in the forum, I concluded that the LabVIEW has a bug printing Standard Reports, as it cannot manipulate correctly the margins and the scale of the image. But, when using Standard Reports I could choose which printer to use.
So, I use HTML Reports that print the report smoothly, but the choise of the printer has a problem. No matter which printer is chosen by a Ring Menu, it prints to same printer all the time.
Could you please give me any hint to solve this problem?
I attach the corresponding code:
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hey guys, this is Paul with National Instruments.
Being employed at NI I am obligated to provide a big disclaimer about the information I am about to provide:
MANUALLY CHANGING YOUR WINDOWS REGISTRY CAN CAUSE CORRUPTION AND ERRORS IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
With that being said, nikosfs was on the right track by editing his Windows Registry to perform this action. Please see the following steps, and see if it helps further explain what you need to do:
Open the Registry Editor. To do this, click Start >> Run and type "regedit", then press OK.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows. In this key there should be an entry called Device with values that should match up with your default printer.
Right click on the Windows key, choose "Export" from the menu that pops up, and save the Registration File as printer1.reg.
Leaving the Registry Editor open, change your default printer. To do this, go to Start >> Settings >> Printers and Faxes. Right click on the printer that you want your report to print to, and choose the option "Set as Default Printer".
Go back to the Registry Editor, it should be noted that the value of the Device entry has changed to the new default printer. Right click on the Windows key again, choose "Export" from the menu that pops up, and save the Registration File as printer2.reg
These two files may now be used to manipulate your default printer settings in conjunction with the System Exec.vi. The figures below show how to use the registry files and the System Exec.vi.
→ The "/s" in the text field makes sure that this vi will run without interrupting regular user interaction.
→ The path constant is set to "c:\" because the Registration Files were saved directly in the C drive. Change according to location of Registration Files.
Make sure that this operation is called before the Print Report.vi is called, as it will print just to the default printer.

Download of Firefox browser taking more than a day.
I have been having trouble using my Yahoo mail on Firefox, with different functions getting lost in endless cycles that require me to quit the program and try again, as well as frequently crashing and displaying the Stop Script window. I decided to reinstall the browser, so I AppZapped it on my hard drive, and started a fresh download. However, the download time displays as taking 2 days and counting! That can't be right. I've tried it several times and I keep getting the same result. Any ideas?! Thx.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded

Hello there,
I have been a loyal user of Firefox since 2005 and have never had and issue with this browser. It has been my top choice when it comes to using it in my devices along with suggesting to other people. The problem I have recently began to experience happened after updating to the newer version...4 or 5, not sure which. My Adobe Flash player is up to date and have no add-ons running that are not part of the default browser.
When I click the icon it takes a long time for the window to show up and a good minute before the homepage shows up and is functional to use. I never had this issues with previous versions so I am assuming there might be some bug causing this particular problem. Also, when I am playing games Firefox decided to stop responding and I have to force quit so my games don't suddenly slow down. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.7; I also tested opening Safari and it opened and loaded the homepage is about 3 seconds, I don't wanna have to switch unless I have to. Any help is appreciated, thanks. :)Hi Donekes,
First off I need a little more information to help with troubleshooting. You say that an error occurs when you "try to re-open the same problem app before the old session completely exits". Does the error have an error code or dialog display? It may also be possible to receive an error log. Here is a knowledge base that explains how to retrieve error logs.

After I start my computer in the morning, I go to my email, then I click on firefox, with google as my homepage, it takes a long time for firefox to show up on the computer. It says it is connecting, then when I close firefox, and go to reopen it again, a dialog box opens up that says firefox is already running and I must close existing firefox process first. I have not run into this problem before.
* The first time you start up any application after turning on your computer is called a cold start, which is why Firefox takes a while to load right away. (I've noticed that future versions of Firefox start up faster on a cold start then Firefox 5.0.1.) Also, a lower amount of RAM could be slowing its start-up down since Firefox is kind of memory hungry.
* As for the second part of your question, press ctrl,Alt, and the delete keys on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager should start. Go to the processes tab and look for 'firefox.exe'. Right click on the firefox.exe and click 'End Process'. Hit Yes and wait for a minute.
* Then opening Firefox again.
Hopefully this helped somewhat! -

Hi ,
In oracle forms 11g, I have a text field that includes html tags.
I crate a report in report builder 11g, selecting html text from database.

set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ........
It gives me the html page ok.
When I send the report to printer it prints also the html tags e.g. <body> <b>my text ..........<b> </body>.
