Print html problem

I have a problem in VI documentation. I print the VI (the block diagram is much bigger than one screen) into html, and choose vi documentation. I got an error of 'Failure saving file xxx.html'. I am using LabVIEW 8.6 and winxp.

Report Generation Toolkit Print HTML Problem

Hi,
i have a problem printing a html Page at a Costumers PC with the Report Generation Toolkit.
I use LV 2012 and the Report Generation Toolkit in 32Bit Mode.
The Target is a Win7 64Bit Machine with IE10 of our Customer with very strong security rules.
Our Programm generates a HTML Repor which is saved without any problem.
When i then try to print it with Print Report.vi it doesent work and i get error1 out of the SubVi NI_ReportGenerationCore.lvlibrint HTML Report using IE.vi.
This Sub.vi simply cant open the HTML Page with the IE.
I think its the costumers Security Rules that cause the Problem.
I saw a very strange behavior of the IE.
When i double click the .html file the IE gets opened and displays the file properly.
When i then hit the reload button it also gets reloaded.
When i click in the browsers adress bar and hit enter (Which normaly does a reload) i get an error "Adress Bar, Adresse, access denied".
And i think that happens in the Sub.vi.
I talked to some friends an they sad it could be that double clicking and reloding is done with the local user an the clicking and hitting enter reload is maybe the systemuser.
So i asume that the Sub.vi is also using the systemuser.
How can i determin which user is used to execute a vi?
Can i influence the user?
Has anybody a solution and seen this problem?

If I understand your situation correctly, you are able to use the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit to create an HTML report, which you save as an HTML file. Can you open it in a browser and print it using the browser's Print button? I've use LabVIEW to generate HTML reports, but have never tried to print the Reports in LabVIEW -- I've always used the "browser route", myself.

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.

Hi 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.

Print HTML Report using IE.png ‏11 KB

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.

Hi 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.

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!...

Printing quality problem

We spend incredible amount of time to find out how to how to make
reliable print from EXE done in LV6.0.2 under W9x,WinNT, W2K. But we
have no solution.
First we used direct print VI panel, after VI competition, but there
are many problems with it. Then we left it and switched to report
generation, now we are at the same situation.
-Report generation does under WinNT and W2K different size of report
on printer printout, NI-support suggest: LET USE W98.
-Using W98, printing on printer with page format A4, EXE crashed.
NI-support
suggest: LET USE WinNT,W2K
-Another problem: after printing to printer, the memory space used by
LV is growing while using report generation VIs after every print even
though I closed report reference. Each print make
app. or LV allocated
memory 3 MB higher. The newly allocated memory is no more released and
all VI's are after 3to 5 printouts really slow.
Seems to me probably nobody is using report generation VI's, because
there is no way to use it.
Seems to me also, that the only way (but painful) how to print from
LV6.0.2 is the same, which exists since LV4 - print panel after
competition (the same solution as 4 years ago...). Even this solution
is really bad under W98 printing to HP printers - we can see very
often that EXE crashed after printing, or sometimes fonts have correct
size and sometimes not.
The only reliable way is: using VI server function, generate
physically BMP file on hard disk and then this BMP print out using
paint.exe(MS-paintbrush). Printouts are reliable, but because of
generated BMP they look like from ZX Spectrum or Atari age. Also we
can generate HTML physically to HDD, but there is no way how to ensure
the same size of each item on print (HTML <-> MSexplorer problem)
, so
it is unusable. Also unusable is to force customer to buy and use
MS-word to be able print from our application done in LabVIEW.
Maybe we are doing something wrong, but we cannot to find the problem.
Thanks for any help.

I don't have any complaints about printing from LV - well, not many, anyway.
First things first - there is a known bug in the 'Print Panel at Completion' method of printing, under LV6.0.2, when running under Win95/98. It involves LV not releasing resources, causes font corruption, and ultimately an assert/crash. It DOES NOT happen under WinNT/2K. If you MUST run W95/98, you can specify 'bitmap printing' as a workaround, but this is very slow.
Apart from that, I have generally excellent results using print on completion under LV6, usually to an HP LaserJet. A few things I've learned:
1) Disable scaling in the VI print setup - this just confuses things. Size the objects on the VI panel to fit the printable area (LV uses 72 pixels/inch).
2) Create
the 'print on completion' VI as something that is never shown onscreen - don't try to make one VI do onscreen presentation and printing.
3) Paint the background of the printing VI white.
4) If you drop a graphic on the printing VI's FP (like a company logo), get a BIG, high res image. After pasting it, shrink/resize it w/in LV. When it prints, the full resolution is retained and used.
5) Paint control/indicator frames and 'stuff' either white or transparent. These things can really clutter the printed results.
Hope this helps - I've used this method to produce some really sharp test reports, certificates of conformance, etc.

Thanks

Ram,
I have had printing problems too a year and a half ago. I used all printing apis of java and I still find that it is something java lacks. Now basically you can try autosense. To check whether your printer is capable of printing the docflavor use this PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset); . If it lists the printer then he can print the document otherwise he can't. I guess that is why you get the error.

___Advice on how to print html from an applet___

I have been working on this problem for a little while, but still can't find a good solution. I ask for any help/advice I can receive on this matter.
Below is what I have already tried:
1) Place the HTML within a JEditorPane and print the graphics object.
* In order to do this I would have to display the HTML, which I do not want to do.
* I have also tried placing the HTML within a JEditorPane and not display it, but I get no data from printing the graphics object.
2) Print the View classes that contain the text by placing the html into a JEditorPane ex) JEditorPane.getUI().getRootView(jeditorPane).
* This method is how the following article prints HTML: http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2002_12/online/print_kgauthier_12_10_02/
* This class prints each "leaf" view, which unfortunately will not print lists or table borders b/c they are contained in "branch" views. I have not been able to convert this class to print the branch views in a nice looking format.
3) Use a DocFlavor of type "text/html" and send document to the printer.
* Some printers can render html, but these are few and far between. Most printers I am dealing with do not accept type text/html.
Below are some things I am thinking about trying:
1) Convert the HTML to postscript and print the postscript.
* I have no clue how to do this. I have searched the internet for code and found nothing but perl code (but I am using a java applet).
2) Save the html file to users disk and open html file in new browser window. Then use javascript print function.
* I really do not want to have to save files to the users disk just to print. This seems like the easiest way, but is also the least user-convient way.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on printing HTML using java. Should I re-examine the methods I already tried? Can anyone give input on the methods I am planning to try? I would think this is a common problem, but I am having a hard time finding answers.
Thanks for your interest and any help you can provide :)

I tried the Java printing API in 1.4.2 but found it hopeless in terms of printing anything without using AWT.
Also since the print service was going to be on Windows machine I used jawin (http://sf.net/projects/jawinproject/) to query the registry for the command to print a particular extension and then exec that command.

Printing html text and font styles

Hello,
when I try to print html text in serif with italic or bold text style the output on a printer incorrectly shows the bold and italic parts in arial or something. Underlined text is printed correctly.
The font is rendered correctly on a JEditorPane.
There were some issues with html rendering in java (e.g. Bug IDs 4331766, 4160605, 1235430, 4141537) but as these bugs are closed/fixed in earlier jdk versions, and i found no hint that anyone else has experienced such problems, i may be doing something wrong?

Print PDF problem

Hi..
I have print option below the report. When I click on the Print -> HTML button its work fine. But when I click on Print->PDF button,I got the following error..
An error occurred during execution of "connect". No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. [Socket:888]
Error Details
Error Codes: ETI2U8FAHow could I avoid it?
Thanks

The problem persists with the Adobe PDF reader,see to that the machine your using has updated version of the Adobe.As said by kishore some plug-in problem might also exist.
Shut down system and see to that there wont be any google talk or such plug-ins

Printing HTML with Java Printing Service(JDK1.4 beta)

Hi there!
I'm currently checking out the new Java Printing Service (JPS) in the new JDK1.4 beta. This looks like a very promising printing API, with amongst others printer discovery and support for MIME types - but I have some problems with printing HTML displayed in a JEditorPane.
I'm developing an application that should let the user edit a (HTML)document displayed in a JEditorPane and the print this document to a printer. I have understood that this should be peace-of-cake using the JPS which has pre-defined HTML DocFlavor amongst others, in fact here is what Eric Armstrong says on Javaworld (http://www.javaworld.com/javaone01/j1-01-coolapis.html):
"With JPS, data formats are specified using MIME types, for example: image/jpeg, text/plain, and text/html. Even better, the API includes a formatting engine that understands HTML, and an engine that, given a document that implements the Printable or Pageable interface, generates PostScript. The HTML formatting engine looks particularly valuable given the prevalence of XML data storage. You only need to set up an XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) stylesheet, use it to convert the XML data to HTML, and send the result to the printer."
After one week of reasearch I have not been able to do what Armstrong describes; print a String that contains text of MIME type text/html.
I have checked the supported MIMI types of the Print Service returned by PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService(). This is the result:
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.GIF;
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
aset.add(new Copies(2));
PrintService[] service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor,aset);
if (service.length > 0) {
System.out.println("Selected printer " + service[0].getName());
DocFlavor[] flavors = service[0].getSupportedDocFlavors();
for (int i = 0;i<flavors.length;i++) {
System.out.println("Flavor "+i+": "+flavors.toString());
Selected printer \\MUNIN-SERVER\HP LaserJet 2100 Series PCL 6
Flavor 0: image/gif; class="[B"
Flavor 1: image/gif; class="java.io.InputStream"
Flavor 2: image/gif; class="java.net.URL"
Flavor 3: image/jpeg; class="[B"
Flavor 4: image/jpeg; class="java.io.InputStream"
Flavor 5: image/jpeg; class="java.net.URL"

Flavor 9: application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref; class="java.awt.print.Pageable"
Flavor 10: application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref; class="java.awt.print.Printable"
As you can see there is no support for text/html here.
If anyone has a clue to what I'm missing here or any other (elegant, simple) way to print the contents of a JEditorPane, please speak up!

Since you have 'printable' as one of your flavors, try this using a JTextPane (assuming you can dump your HTML into a JTextPane, which shouldn't be a big problem)...
1. Have your JTextPane implement Printable
ie. something like this:
public class FormattedDocument extends JTextPane implements Printable 2. Read your HTML into the associated doc in the text pane.
3. Implement the printable interface, since you have it as one of your available flavors (I'd imagine everybody has printable in their available flavors). Something like this:
public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pf, int pageIndex) {
 Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
 g2.translate((int)pf.getImageableX(), (int)pf.getImageableY());
 g2.setClip(0, 0, (int)pf.getImageableWidth(), (int)pf.getImageableHeight());
 if (pageIndex == 0)
 setupPrintView(pf);
 if (!pv.paintPage(g2, pageIndex))
 return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
 return PAGE_EXISTS;
 }Here's my setupPrintView function, which is executed once on page 0 (which still needs some polishing in case I want to start from page 5). It sets up a 'print view' class based on the root view of the document. PrintView class follows...
public void setupPrintView(PageFormat pf) {
View root = this.getUI().getRootView(this);
 pv = new PrintView(this.getStyledDocument().getDefaultRootElement(), root,
 (int)pf.getImageableWidth(), (int)pf.getImageableHeight());Note of obvious: 'pv' is of type PrintView.
Here's my PrintView class that paints your text pane line by line, a page at a time, until there is no more.
class PrintView extends BoxView
 public PrintView(Element elem, View root, int w, int h) {
 super(elem, Y_AXIS);
 setParent(root);
 setSize(w, h);
 layout(w, h);
 public boolean paintPage(Graphics2D g2, int pageIndex) {
 int viewIndex = getTopOfViewIndex(pageIndex);
 if (viewIndex == -1) return false;
 int maxY = getHeight();
 Rectangle rc = new Rectangle();
 int fillCounter = 0;
 int Ytotal = 0;
 for (int k = viewIndex; k < getViewCount(); k++) {
 rc.x = 0;
 rc.y = Ytotal;
 rc.width = getSpan(X_AXIS, k);
 rc.height = getSpan(Y_AXIS, k);
 if (Ytotal + getSpan(Y_AXIS, k) > maxY) break;
 paintChild(g2, rc, k);
 Ytotal += getSpan(Y_AXIS, k);
 return true;
// find top of page for a given page number
 private int getTopOfViewIndex(int pageNumber) {
 int pageHeight = getHeight() * pageNumber;
 for (int k = 0; k < getViewCount(); k++)
 if (getOffset(Y_AXIS, k) >= pageHeight) return k;
 return -1;
}That's my 2 cents. Any questions?

How to print HTML to a remote Server

Ho guys my problem is only this
how to print HTML to a remote Server
i hav used JavaPrintService for it javax.print....
The Doc Flavor i used is
DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM_TEXT_HTML_HOST;
and with simple print attribute set but it doesnt locates
the PrintSerivces.
Plz try this code on your system(Jdk1.4 beta) and see whether it detects PrintServices or not
import java.io.*;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
import javax.print.event.*;
public class PrintHTML {
FileReader readfile;
Doc doc;
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          PrintHTML ps = new PrintHTML();
     public PrintHTML() {
          DocFlavor flavor =DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM_TEXT_HTML_HOST;
          PrintRequestAttributeSet aset =
               new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
          aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
          // aset.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
          aset.add(new Copies(1));
PrintService[] pservices =
               PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, aset);
if (pservices.length > 0) {
               System.out.println("Available printer " + pservices[0].getName());
               System.out.println("Available printer " + pservices[1].getName());
               System.out.println("Available printer " + pservices[2].getName());

The documentation is misleading. You cannot directly print HTML. See:

Frontend Printing Html Browser

Hello, after upgrade to basis 7.0 and switching to the integrated ITS we have problems with frontend printing via html Gui.
I configured Frontend Printing with the aid of sapnote 771683. Sapnote 957292 is fullfilled, also sapnote 1106643.
When i use the print option, a new Browser window obens with a list of spool requests. Iam supposed to select one. When i do this a message
File Not Available: /usr/sap/P03/SYS/global/0013kc3F.P03 appaers
But: on the Application Server the file exists.
It doesnt work with IE an Firefox. Other PDF are shown and printed without problem (e.g. pdf from sapnet) from Browser
Any ideas???
Greetings

Printing HTML

Is there a REALLY SIMPLE way of printing some HTML??

If you render the html in a JEditorPane (not always a great idea, I know) then you can print it with the printutilities class found here...

I have done this sucessfully before. The only real problem is that it doesn't repect text boundaries very well, but some creative coding might fix that
