Print text file with labview 2011 and windows 7

I am having some strange problem, hope someone out there knows the solution.
We have a labview program running under windows xp, the program runs some test and print label from a local label printer. Last week, I have to upgrade the computer to windows 7 and all the sudden the printer will not print any more.
The print vi is very simple. I am using the report function and I am attaching the diagram of that vi below.
If I use windows notepad to open that small text file, I can print fine. This means the printer driver itself is OK. However, if I print the same text file through Labview printing vi, from the printer's task list, I can see it does not recognize the char. From the attached png file, the top one is the task from notepad, it shows 2 pages and the bottom one is from the labview, it becomes 33 pages.
For the printer part, I use Generic / Text Only printer driver which comes from windows itself. And I am aslo attaching a sample of the text file, there are quite a lot of special char, it is for print bar code. When I tried to use labview print text vi to print general text from my computer to a regular printer, the vi works. So it seems Labview print can not handle the special char? Although it worked many years under windows XP in the past.
Welcome to any suggestions!
Thanks

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.

Exporting text files with song names and artist names only

I need help exporting a playlist as a text file. I know how to do this already,(right click playlist and select "export song list...") but when i open it up in notepad, it is unorganized and is very hard to read. I am burning a disc for my mom and pasting the playlist on the back of the cd cover. I dont want to type out every artist and song name. Help is appreciated.

do you have a copy of Excel (or a different spreadsheet) on the PC, kevin? if so, try opening the text file with that. then it's relatively easy to remove information by deleting the columns of info that you don't want.

Can't share files with Macbbok Air and Windows XP PC

Despite several calls to apple support I am still unable to share files with the PC.The PC is wired to the router and the macbook is wireless.
I can see the shared files on my PC in the finder of the MAC but whan I click on the file it says that 'original item "shared file" cannot be found'.
or when connecting via go-connect to server-, the error message
' the volume "Shared file" cannot be mounted' appears, this is followed by a message 'sorry the operation could not be completewd because an unexpected error occurred (Eror code -6602)
I can also only connect as a guest via Finder and sometimes when trying to connect the error maessages do not appear but the computer seems to absorb a lot of CPU usage, get hot and freeze.
Any ideas please?
I have tried turning off firewalls on both computers and have spoken to support for the d link router who confirmed that the router doesnt block file sharing.

Actually, I just typed in smb://PCNAME without any folders, logged in as a guest (I don't have a password-enabled share setting in Windows 7), and my Mac kindly asked me which volume to mount. I chose Users, and it popped up in Finder. Fully browsable.

PC Crash with Labview 7 and windows 2000

Problem:
the PC does reboot without any prompt when a LV 7 vi is running; the reboot seems to occur randomly (no time dependent); sometimes instead of rebooting, the PC switches to the blue screen with the following message:
Stop: 0x0000001E (0xC0000002, 0x80419292, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Configuration:
Intel Pentium IV - 2.66 GHz - RAM 1 Gbyte - Video chipset Intel 82865G;
OS: Windows 2000
DAQ Board: PCI MIO 16 E1;
Labview 7 express - NIDAQ 7.1
Note:
The VI that causes the reboot uses the DAQMX to generate an Analog Output with analog trigger.

> The VI that causes the reboot uses the DAQMX to generate an Analog

You probably want to post this problem to the DAQ message board as well
since LV itself really can't cause either of these problems on a
protected OS. Be sure to be very explicit about what HW boards and what
DaqMX calls you are making along with which version of the driver you have.

How to read text file with big5 into db

hi,
how can i use UTL_FILE package to
read a text file with big5 characters and insert into db?
my oracle charset is AL32UTF8.
thx a lot!

Thx for yr answer!!!
I have followed and it works.
However, I got another problem with HKSCS. When the text file contained HKSCS, the store procedure also treats it as Big5 and when I select it out, the character was not the orginal one.
Please suggest if you have any ideas.

How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview

Hi everyone
How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview
thx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As far as I know, a text file has no columns. Please be more specific. Do you mean something like the 5th word on line 4, where words are separated by a space, and lines are separated by a newline character? You could the Read from Spreadsheet String function and set the delimiter to a space. This will produce a 2D array of strings. Then use index array and give the line number and column number.

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module?

How to create and read text file using LabVIEW 7.1 PDA module? I can not create a text file and read it.

File_IO.vi ‏82 KB

Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.

ok. I hope someone can answer my question. I am new to photoshop. I need version cs4 in order to work with a designer and printer on some logo work. I've tried to download it but it just gives me individual files with no installer and nothing - including the adobe "instructions" seems to work. How can i get this software in a downloadable format? is it actually free - I'm assuming it is... Hope someone knows the answer to these questions...

The download itself is free and is valid for 30 days only. After that, the software ceases to work.
CS4 is pretty old, no longer sold and no longer supported by Adobe. It's also not compatible with many modern OSes.
Why do you have to work with such an obsolete version of Photoshop?
What kind of "designer" uses it?

Creating links to text files with Tomcat and JSP

I am trying to create links in a JSP page that bring up text files. Currently, the links point to a file format. When the links are clicked, however, the text files are not displayed in the web browser. When an "http:" format is used, the links point to terminal files that are not being written dynamically (and therefore are useless to me). So in short, I'm looking for a way to get these links to (1) point to text files on the network, and (2) get them to display in a new browser window. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
TGD

You cannot expect Tomcat or any J2EE Server to give access to the Network files.
You need to design a different way to give access to the Users.
What you can do is write a proxy (HttpServlet) which can pass a request parameter as the file name. The Servlet can read the file and then paint it in the Client Browser Window.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and regards,

What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices
