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.

How to print html file on client system without viewing data on client syst
I want to print html data from database.
i am not able to print it using java code,
javascript can do that.
but in javascript window is opened on client browser.
but i dont want to open that
var disp_setting="toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,";
disp_setting+="scrollbars=no,width=0,height=0";
var docprint = window.open("","",disp_setting);
//docprint = new PopUpWindow() ;
docprint.document.write('<%= mm %>');
docprint.document.close();
docprint.focus();
docprint.document = null; mm contents the data to be printed. it prints well but window is shown
in mm there is <BODY self.print() > so it prints on printer but i am viewing window i donot want to view window....
and print Dialog box also.. I want to by pass this both.
please send me code or any help regarding that.
....1. Post a javascript question on a javascript forum please.
2. Don't think you can bypass without some plugin/setting on the client browser. -

Hi, I'm trying to print a html document with this following java code but doesn't works:
public void onActionPrintEncuestaPDF(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
//@@begin onActionPrintEncuestaPDF(ServerEvent)
try{
Robot robot = new Robot();
// Ctrl+P
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL );
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_P );
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_CONTROL);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_P );
Thread.sleep(500);
//Alt+U
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ALT );
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_U );
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ALT );
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_U );
Thread.sleep(500);
//entrée
robot.keyPress(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER);
robot.keyRelease(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER );
Thread.sleep(500);
catch(Exception e){ }
//@@end
This is not working because java.awt.Robot is a part of AWT package and intended for the client site, how I can make an action that when the
client push the print button. Print the html document automatly.

GabrielI create into KM Content on portal a file called print.html and I put the following code:

Print html file via share intent
Hello HP
I'm a developer, I trying to print html file to HP Printer via share intent. Here is my code:
Intent intent = new Intent("org.androidprinting.intent.action.PRINT");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
intent.setDataAndType(uri, "ePrintWebContent/*");
startActivity(intent);
Nothing happen when I share this intent. Please show me right way to print html file.
Thank you!!Did you look in the LabVIEW Help? http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvhowto/reg_hndl_ax_evnts/
You right-click on that parameter and select Create Callback VI. This will automatically create a VI with the required inputs and outputs. This is the VI that will be called when the event occurs. If you need the callback VI to update any front panel controls of the main VI, then you can pass in control references via the User Parameter input.
Attached is a modification of the shipping example that handles the Navigate and DocumentComplete events.

Print html file with barcode from abap report
hi
i am printing html file from abap program using gui_execute.
i am using netscape.exe , its printing first time and when reprint its not working
basically html file contains gif file which has fedex barcode.
could you please let me know how to print html file from reportDGU wrote:
where to check RAW or TEXT? the print report vi only asks for file name and printer name.
When I print from notepad, everything just goes by default. This is a label printer, so I never need to specify printing parameter such as size, orientation, etc in the past
Famous last words go something like this: "...never had to do that before." Maybe you have to do that now. It's worth at least comparing the defaults settings for bothe generic drivers. It could save you a lot of headache if you notice something different.

Can I specify font size=1 when printing HTML?
I want print my HTML report in font size = 1. I don't know how to do it?
When using report builder, there seems no special control for printing HTML?
Hope experts here broaden my mind
RichardThis is possible
1) In Builder paper layout select the object for which you want to change the font size
2) In menu
Format --> Font
You can change the font and its size
Then generate to html/htmlcss . I have verified this

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!...

After a good bit of reading, I found that printing HTML directly to the printer doesn't work for many printers. I don't want to print the code. I want the actual HTML page. I have some code here that reads the HTML file into a JEditorPane and then is rendered into a graphic for printing.
My code compiles fine, I'm not getting any errors, but what I'm also not getting is any pages printing.

There's a Swing forum here where you get answers from people who are good at Swing. Posting here attracts answers from people like me who are mediocre at it.I think that calling validate() on a Container will lay it out and size it's components, even if it hasn't been made visible, but don't take my word for it. -

RamRam,
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.
