My failed solutions to print a string. Some ideas, however...

Dear,
I do need to print some basic string out of a collection from Siena.
Now, being the print task not supported, I thought on four solutions:
1) launch the mail app with the string, then print the mail;
2) generate a data-uri, then launch within the browser. But IE does not seem to support it and Siena won't launch anything without a protocol like HTTP or mailto;
3) open the app in Visual Studio for Windows and add a print function in JS. But I didn't understand where the HTML is formed (Siena should be html+css+js) and where the element <button> is defined
4) take a screenshot and print from the images gallery
Now, the solution 1 and 4 are not really great... while 2) and 3) do not help me. Maybe the solution 3) would be doable.
I am going to investigate Google Cloud Print (they have web services) or ePrint from HP (although they seem to allow Printing of attached files and not email body).
But, however, seeing all the files of my project, having access to the code, could you address me where to change, for instance, the action of a button, just to change it to a function to print a string, later in VS?
Or, simply, has anyone a workaround to print a string, or to open a browser with a in-Siena-created string as content (like data-uri should do)?
Obviosuly I could write a PHP/ASP web service of my own, but I would like that the app does not require the internet connection to work.
Thank you very much!
Fabio

I'm curious about this, too -
In addition, I'm hoping to add a File Picker because I don't believe this is yet availabe in Siena.

Some Ideas from you

Hello
I am developing a query(2) which will first execute another query(1) and pop up the variables to be entered. Now this query 2 is filtered on the data which is coming from Q1. In Q1 i have a hier node variable. Now the user will select a node to see the data for that paticular node...In Q2 i have to make 2 KF's.
1st KF will be based on the node the user has selected.
2nd KF has to exclude the node which he has selected.
Any idea how i can do this
thanks

You will have to look for exact solutions yourself but here are some ideas (using the command wizard in WAD) - you can call up a query using the command SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMETERS (use this to call up Q2). And in the same command sequence, bind the variables in Q2 (or filter Q2) using the commands SET_VARIABLES_STATE, SET_SELECTION_STATE, SET_SELECTION_STATE_BY_BINDING etc. Use the characteristic bindings from Q1 that you want to pass on.
PS. Please put meaningful subject when posting new threads.

Failing to print report on some printers

Hi All,
I am hoping someone can assist with a problem I am having. I am printing a crystal report from a .Net Webservice. The code works perfectly on many sites and on my development environments. There is however one site that we are experiencing a problem with. When set to print to the printers on the server, the system crashed with a couple of errors, these are as follows:
1) The request could not be submitted for background processing
2) The Report Application Server failed
3) Invalid Printer Secified.
When printing to these printers the errors occure randomly every 3-4 prints. Initially I found another post in this forum regarding an specific HP printer that was not compatible. We then changed to a SHARP printer...same problem. I have now set up a Geteric Text only "dummy" type printer and the problem disappears. The prints queue up on the printer and we get no errors.
If there is anyone who can assist me with this I would much appreciate it.
I am running with .Net 2008 Runtime for Visual Studio, Crystal 10.5.
Steven.

This is not a permissions, or code issue, so you're left with 2 possibilities:
1) Printer drivers. Compare printer drivers that work and choose on of those for this site. Make sure you have the most recent updates for those drivers, and that they are not 3rd party / "knock offs".
2) Runtime - Crystal Reports runtime and other. You may want to use the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility to trace through the differences.

C++ Debug Assertion Failed! - when printing with LOCL method G and GUI 620

Hi all
I've just raised an OSS message with SAP but don't think they'll help as the GUI version is no longer supported... if anyone else has come across this though and has any suggestions that would be great...
Thanks
Ross
Hi
We recently upgraded a few users to the 720 SAP GUI and had issues with LOCL printing, as we were still using the older "F: Printing on Front End computer" method of printing. As per SAP Note "Note 821519 - Front-end printing with control technology" the solution is to use method "G: Front end printing with Control Tech".
However, we now get an issue with SOME users who are running the SAP GUI 620 patch 57. When they try and print to LOCL they get a pop up dialog box error:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\saplogon.exe
File: fputs.c
Line: 48
Expressiom: steam != NULL"
I appreciate that this old GUI is no longer supported BUT the SAP note states that 620 patch 56 is the minimum level for method "G" to work - and previous testing showed that it DID work ok. It seems only some of the 620 patch 57 users are affected - just wondering if you can advise why and if there is a 'quick fix' for this, perhaps an updated fputs.c file or something?
The issue is that we literally have thousands of users on this version and cannot roll out 720 quickly enough & without some additional testing/costs etc. We have a 710 patch 18 version we can roll out but this can cause IE8 issues... neither do we wish to revert to control method "F" as this will then 'break' printing for those users.
We have created a LOCL_OLD printer with method "F" but some users (for various reasons, including hard coded printers in bespoke transactions) cannot select this and have to use LOCL...
If you are aware of the C++ debug assertion error and have any possible solutions that would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Ross

fputs.c is a source file that is used to compile the GUI. The assertion is thrown because an expected condition is not met. So even if you would take out the assertion, there's no guarantee it'll work because "something" on the operating system is not right.
I suggest you compare installed software and windows hotfixes on the affected PCs vs. those who don't show this error. The error may also be that after the installation of the SAPGUI another software product was installed that replaced certain DLLs that are also used by the SAPGUI.

Some print Apps work, some give me a server error. Why is this?

Officejet Pro 8500 Plus - Some print Apps, such as USA Today, work fine. Others, such as MinuteMaze, UCrossword, give me an unable to connect to server error. Why is this?

Print a string on a specific printer

Hello everyone,
I need some help.
I have to print a string in LabView. Previously the method used was to set on the option "Automatically print front panel every time VI completes execution" in the Print Options of the VI Properties.
Now, however, I should dynamically select the printer on which to print this string. The printer name is dynamically loaded from a text file.
Actually I'm trying to use the Print Report function (Easy Text Report.vi) that works fine, but it creates problems during the compiling: it create 3 folders in the directory where the executable is located (here the folders: NI_HTML, NI_report, NI_Standard Report) with all the VI "in freedom", not compiled but copied in there.
There are other methods to print a string through the name of the printer, or to solve this problem of creating random folders and VIs?
Attachments:
PrintTest.vi ‏9 KB

Your application does something internally that depends on the VIs being stored flat inside the executable. LabVIEW 8.x layout basicaly creates one flat archive inside the executable with all VIs stored in one level. That means it can not store VI files more than once with the same name. The Report Generatino Tools are however written using LabVIEW OOP which requires VIs to be named the same in order to allow dynamic dispatch.
If you deselect the LabVIEW 8.x layout option, the VIs are stored inside the executable in the same hierarchical structure as they are on disk in the source code of your application. That allows multple VIs with the same name to be placed inside the executable, but it does make the internal file hierarchy more complex.
Bsically you have two options:
1) figure out where in your appliction yoeu depend on internal paths of VIs to be in a flat order. Most likely this are Current VI path nodes that your application uses to strip twice a path element to find the directory in which the executable is located, for instance to find configuration files or similar. Replace this legacy code construct with an Application Directory property which will return the directory your executable is in rspectively the directory of your project file when you run your app in the devlopment environment.
2) Live with the extra files outside of your executable!

Solution for printing of Purchasing Documents in SAP with version managemen

Hi experts,
We found that the standard solution does not meet the following requirements for purchasing document
1)     The print for the latest version of the document does not contain items unaffected by change. It requires printing of whole document with all items, but with version number and highlighted changes.
2)     The standard solution cannot highlight some of the changes which are not captured by version management like text changes, target value and Contact (Purchasing Group) in header, text changes at item level, etc.
3)     The standard solution can be used to reprint the whole PO without version management but that cannot highlight the changes specific to the version for which it is printed.
If any solution which can meet the requirements specified above, please let us know <removed by moderator>.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Mar 30, 2011 9:39 AM

Ok.
I have already done with SPRO configuration.
MM->Purchasing->Version management->
It has implemented ECC 6.0. The version management has been activated for Purchasing documents. The standard printing solution for printing of these documents (PO, Outline Agreements and RFQ) print these documents with changes made in the latest version. Any item which is not changed in the latest version does not get printed.

The date they were taken us in the EXIF data and is included in the export
However it is trivial to modify it so I doubt that it would hold water in court

Hi,
actually there's none. The UITableView class needs to "know" the tableView's height so either it can calc <number of rows> times <row height> or it has to sum the height of each single row.
If the row which needs to be of different size always is the first or the last row you can user a tableHeader or tableFoot view.

Add a actionlistener to JTextArea and print out string when the user input

Thanks for your help, but I still got a question for you.
Do you think the way I register the even handler to the TextArea is correct?
Because the compailer complains about that which like
"D:\101\fig13_27\PanelDemo.java:43: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method addActionListener (PanelDemo.TextAreaHandler)
location: class javax.swing.JTextArea
      tAreaDown.addActionListener(new TextAreaHandler());

I've changed some of these settings to no avail.

Failed to get printer information

I have a legacy application in C++, now ported to VS 2010. All works fine, except I get an intermittent error. I'm printing a CNiReport to a pdf printer (Win2Pdf). Every so often I get an error dialog pop up with the message "failed to get printer information" and the print fails (no pdf produced). This comes from the CnIReport:rint. Unfortunately I'm trying to run my program unattended and this dialog hangs waiting to be dismissed. If I dismiss the dialog and let the program continue, it does and then may or may not get the same error on the next Print. It fails both if I pass the printer name to Print and if I pass an empty name to make it use the default printer.
Can someone from NI confirm that the dialog is coming from CNiReport:rint and is there anything I can do to stop it? Also, why would it happen only occasionally?
Thanks
Phil reaston

Hey Phil,
Could you post a screen shot of the error dialog?
It is uncharacteristic of NI software to have an error cause a dialog to popup. Typically an error code is returned passed and dealt with in error handling or the execution (compiling, run, etc) failing. so I am inclined to say this error is associated with the printer driver.
