How can we print using the windows printer dialog window?

Hi,
We recently got new printers and a printer setup on our server that are set to print in greyscale as a default. In the past the printers defaulted to printing in color. When I create VI's and reports I have used to set "Print on completion" or the print option from the Report Generation Toolkit, and I have received my prints in color. After changing the printer drivers on the server any printing method I used to do from LabVIEW will always produce greyscale prints. These prints are fine for everyday use, however we need color prints when the documents are for customers or for other official use.
If I could only send documents/VI's to that process the user could override the "greyscale" setting and select "color" in the cases where we need a better looking print. Obviously the other option is to save the document/VI as a file and later print it from any windows software (Excel, Paint etc.).
Do anyone have any neat tricks for printing using the windows printer dialog?

You can change printer settings programmatically via a .NET assembly. You can also bring up the Print Dialog to change settings manually before printing.
More info on the .NET assembly for colour settings here:

  • I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for several years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both?

    I have used Airport Time Capsule with my iMac for a couple years. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and when it tried to backup to Time Capsule it couldn't because Time Capsule is full. How can I now use the 3TB Airport Time Capsule to back up both the iMac and MacBook Air? I don't mind losing earlier backups. I have excluded some items from backing up, but since the Airport Time Capsule is full, I can't even begin to back up the MacBook Air.

    On your Mac.......
    Open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click on the Disks tab at the top of the window
    Click Erase Disk
    On the next window that appears, select the Quick Erase option, then click Erase
    The operation will only take a few minutes.
    Now you are ready to start new backups of both Macs.  Back up one Mac first, then back up the other.  Do not try to back up both Macs as the same time.

  • How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule ...

    So, I am in Oklahoma and my daughter is in Tennessee...
    She has a Time Capsule where the Wi-fi base station quit working, but the hard drive may be OK.
    She bought an Airport Express to use as a wi-fi router.
    The question, then, is:
    How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule to do Time Machine backups?
    Thank you very much for your insights.
    Roberto

    It can be done but is very messy. That is assuming the TC is still functional which I kind of doubt.. the wifi is seldom the only thing that will die .. so whatever problems it has the wifi would be the least of it.
    Anyway.. do a factory reset to get started.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    If the LED is not lit then the TC is dead, not just the wireless.
    The setup for using the TC is explained in the bottom of this thread.
    TC in a second local network.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
    The idea is to set the TC to provide router function.. and the computer plugged in by ethernet to as a second network.. but there are rules on how this is done which I have explained in that thread.
    I notice that Mountain Lion deals better with order of network priority than Snow Leopard used to .. so it might not need to have manually set gateway and dns.. although I would still recommend it. It simply stops the second network causing issues.
    It is much easier to simply purchase an external drive and plug that in.
    It is cheaper, faster and more reliable than using the TC for TM anyway.
    Plus a lot of the later machines no longer have ethernet ports.. and using dongles is far from neat.. although thunderbolt to ethernet is IMHO necessary accessory for anyone without ethernet.

  • How can I set up the canon printer mf4380dn for macbook pro MD318

    I can not set up the canon printer mf4380dn for macbook pro MD318 even thought I set up the printing driver already. The printer usually work good for printing via windows laptop.
    I tried some way but error appear "unable to verify the printer on your network". I printing IP is available

    Upgrade your RAM to at least 4GB's.  Your machine can support 6GB's, but upgrade to 4GB's first. Regardless of what Apple says, you need at least 4GB's to run Lion properly.

  • Why doesn't printing use the default printer?

    I have two main printers to use at home and whenever I print a web page, Firefox automatically prints using the non-default printer. If I select the default printer from the drop down list, it works fine. I shouldn't have to select the default printer every time I want to print.

    Note that NONE of the replies answer the original question.
    The key word in the question is "'''Why'''" and "default printer" refers to the system's default printer.
    Why does Firefox behave differently than any other Win app when it comes to printing, ALWAYS use the system's default printer UNLESS the user changes it (''and NOT memorize the choice'').
    To put it another way, '''Firefox should NOT always use the last printer selected'''.
    '''This non-standard printing behavior should be changed.'''

  • How can I fax using my rendezvous printer, wirelessly via Airport Extreme?

    I am trying to fax a files from my G4 PowerBook, using my printer, which is setup as a rendezvous printer, via my Airport Extreme Base Station. However, I can't get the fax program to find the printer, when it scans. It only allows me to use the Internal Modem or Bluetooth. How can I send a file to the printer and then use the printer to fax?
    Thanks. Wade

    Got it - the problem is setting up and or using the modem inside the printer. The Canon website specs for that printer does say OS X compatible, but if Canon support is telling you it won't work I imagine that part of the driver that runs the dialog box and dialer isn't implemented in the Mac version. Just guessing here.
    They cost $49 but you could get this USB modem from Apple and fax directly from your Mac without printing but that would be a shame having another modem in your printer.
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MA0 34Z/A
    I guess you could ask Canon if that's the reason it won't work, and if so when they plan to update the Mac driver to use the modem. You might get an unsatisfactory answer, though!

  • Can two people use the finger print reader on the same computer

    I can not get the finger print reader work for me.  My wife can use it, but I can not get registered. 

    Hi,
    Based on the following link, you need a different account to be able to register your fingerprint, the rest should be the same:

    Yes, multiple people can log into the same computer with the fingerprint reader if each has their own user account.

  • How can I have use the same div ID multiple times on the same page?

    Okay so a problem I encounter a lot is that often times I want to use the same div ID several times on the same page. An example of this is when I'm creating table like designs.
    Let's say for instance I create a div ID called 'product-container'. I want to use 'product-container' multiple times on the same page but if I do this it is improper XHTML and will throw errors in any XHTML validator (you are only allowed to use a div ID once on any XHTML page in order for it to be standards compliant).
    Now the first option is that I could define 'product-container' in my CSS style sheet multiple times by doing something like this...
    #product-container {
         width: 300px;
    #product-container-2 {
         width: 300px;
    #product-container-3 {
         width: 300px;
    #product-container-4 {
         width: 300px;
    What you will see there however is that it seems pointless to define the same ID numerous times over (just adding a number on the end) when each ID is the exact same thing and has the exact same attributes.
    Now what I have noticed is that there are some sites out there who manage to have the same ID appear several times in the code but add a number to it just like above. The difference is that they only have one definition for 'product-cointainer' in their CSS document but in their actual XHTML code they have IDs for 'product-container' but with numbers on the end like 2,3,4,5, etc. It's almost as if JavaScript or some other code is automatically appending a number on the end of the ID so the validator won't consider the markup to be invalid, but yet it knows that it's using the same 'product-container' style that is contained in the CSS style sheet.
    I hope I explained this correctly. I'm just hoping to find a way that I can put the same div ID on a page multiple times without having to define it over and over again in my CSS.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Because it seems like by using a class you can't make this position as 
    well as you can by using an ID. Am I wrong?
    An ID name can be used only one time per page.  A class name can be used multiple times per page.
    .product {
    width: 300px;

  • How can I fully used the display power in VMWare Fusion

    Hi,
    I am a newbie in in MAC. I've bought a MBP with embedded & standalone display card. I have installed windows in VMWare. However, it's display power in Windows Experience index is just 1. I think it's due to the display driver used in something call "WM SVG2", (not sure, as I am not next to it now). Also, I found there is an unknown device which I think is related to the build in Webcam
    Can someone help me:
    Can I fully utilized the display power of my MAC and how?
    How to resolve the unknown device related to the Webcam?

    No, sorry. There's no way to do that in a virtual machine. Remember, that OS X is the booted operating system and it has control over your hardware. The virtual machine, as far as OS X is concerned, is just another application running alongside any and all other applications (and really, that IS all it is, just very clever software to emulate a computer within a computer). Any hardware calls from Windows have to go through the virtual machine software interface and then are handled by OS X. OS X does not support using both video subsystems simulataneously, and even if it did (or perhaps will, in future machines) your installation of Windows cannot access ANY hardware directly, so you still would be unable to achieve true native Windows performance.

  • How can I back up the contacts on this windows phone

    I just purchased the iPhone and need to back up the contacts fro the windows phone.  How can I do this?

    They automatically sync to your Hotmail when you add them, if you use your Hotmail address.  As for your contacts from Facebook and other social media that show up, those of course are part of that social media account. One other thing.  If you have Windows 8.1, your contacts are backed up automatically (as are your texts, your list of apps, etc.) so that if you need to restore, update, or get another Windows Phone, you'll have them made available to you again.

  • HT2736 how can my family use the itunes gift online token I sent them from france TO the UK?

    I live in France and my family in the UK. So what better (ha ha ha) than to send them all an itunes token for the new year?
    Apparently, they can't use the tokens in the uk and I can't gat a refund. Nor can I change my account to the UK because my bank is in France.
    What an utterly huge waste of my precious little time and money.
    I am VERY dissappointed with apple/itunes and have received NO helpful information despite 3 emailes to customer support.
    I am furious. I am disabled, jobless and living on the breadline. My money is extremely precious to me and I resent the greed and the total lack of support shown by APPLE. 20 pounds might not seem a lot but it is ALL I had to give my family and it means A LOT to me.
    I also feel very very CHEATED by the impression that ITUNES are an international music buying service, when clearly they are not.
    There was NO warning about this when I bought the tokens of on the GIFT token page.
    and by the way, how many times does it take to sign in to apple on a daily basis? answer = too bloody many!

    You can't use those cards. Sorry.

  • How can I draw using the Brush tool and a touch screen?

    I need to be able to use the touch screen on my Lenovo Yoga (running Windows 8) to draw using the Brush tool in Photoshop CS6. I'm able to do that in other programs, including Microsoft OneNote and Paint. For some reason, Photoshop will only interpret touching and dragging on the screen as an attempt to pan or scroll, even when the Brush tool is selected. I bought Photoshop - and it isn't cheap - specifically in order to draw using the touch screen, which I need to be able to do for my job. Is there some driver I can download to fix this problem, or some obscure setting I can change?
    I would also like to note that Adobe's technical support line exhibits a degree of infuriating unreachability equalled only by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. When I called to ask for help with this problem, I was told the expected wait time was between 10 and 14 minutes. After waiting for 50 minutes, I gave up in disgust. Adobe's products are powerful, but what passes for customer service is an utter disgrace.

    There's gotta be a way but I just use gimp for touch drawing, save it off as a png, edit in ps or ai.
