Printing a HTML dokument ?

Hi!
How do i print a HTML dokument from Labview witout opening Microsoft
Explorer ?

You might be able to do so using "System Exec.vi". The following may vary from computer to computer:
You need to send "System Exec.vi" the following command:
rundll32.exe C:\winnt\System32\mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "C:\path\to\file.html"
This work in a machine with Windows NT. I don't know about Windows 9x/ME/2000 etc. Always check for the correct path for your computer. Unfortunatelly, when I test this, it opens the print dialog instead of just printing the file.
With Netscape it can be easier. The command is something like:
C:\PROGRA~1\NETSCAPE\COMMUN~1\PROGRAM\NETSCAPE.EXE /print("C:\path\to\file.html")
Again, check the path. I tested and in my case it send the file directly to the default printer.
If I find out something else, I'll p
ost it here. Let me know if this work.

How can i get rid of the print dialog box when using api to print an html file

i am using the systemshell.vi provided by labview the VI is working fine but it will open a dialog box for printer selection and properties. i would like to hide that dialog box and have it print to the default printer with the default properties

ShellExec is part of lvwutil and merely calls a function in Shell32.dll. There is nothing about the function call that controls the display of the printer dialog. I think that what shell32.dll does when it prints (just like right clicking on the file) is print the file according to what is defined about that file type in Windows Folder Options. On my Win2K system, the print application is defined as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msohtmed.exe" /p %1. If I remove the /p, then Word starts up and in order to print, I get a printer dialog when choosing Print from the File menu. So it seems like the printer dialog is entirely dependant on the application that does the printing. I get no dialog when I use the VI to print a .txt file. I
nstead of using shell32, you might want to try some ActiveX method or property of an application like Internet Explorer that can open and print an html file.

Is there a way to print a Html-Report direktly in LabView?

I created a Html-Report wich includes a jpg-Picture.
Actually there is no way, in the Report Generation, to Print a Html file. I Would be
glad if you have a solution (sub-vi?) to Print a Html file directly in Labview.
Thanks

You can drive IE with Lv through ActiveX: When you have creating an IE
ActiveX reference with Lv, you will be able to open your file and then print
them programmatically...

How to print a html report?

I have LV 6.1 pro and I want after succesfull generate of html report
print them. How?

If you want to print the HTML report, you'll have to use ActiveX to open the resulting report with your web browser and then tell the browser to print it. Of course if you are wanting to print it, why are you using HTML? Why not generate it as a standard report? Or do both--one for printing and one for online publication.

How can I print a html Using javax.print

Hi friends,
I am in big trouble . I use following code to print a html file using javax.print api.
import java.io.*;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
import javax.print.event.*;
public class PrintPS
     public static void main(String args[]) {

     public PrintPS() {
     DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_HTML_HOST;
     PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
     aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
     aset.add(new Copies(1));
     aset.add(MediaTray.MAIN);
     PrintService pservices = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
     if(pservices==null)
          System.out.println(" printer not found");
     if (pservices!= null) {
     System.out.println("selected printer " + pservices.getName());
     DocPrintJob pj = pservices.createPrintJob();
     try {
     InputStream fis = new FileInputStream("abc.html");
     Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, null);
System.out.println("printing started ");
     pj.print(doc, aset);
System.out.println("printing completed");
     } catch (IOException ie) {
     System.err.println(ie);
     } catch (PrintException e) {
     System.err.println(e);
This code gives me "sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor"
So i use all four TEXT_HTML flavor but i do not find the solution.

Print JSP/HTML Pages (perhaps PDF?)

Hi,
i have a table in HTML generated by JSP.
Just like the following simple example:
...<table>
<%
for( Enumeration et = free.getSqlIDs().elements(); et.hasMoreElements();)
String keyt = (String)et.nextElement();
Bean b = new Bean();
b.init(path,DB);
b.setID(keyt);
b.restore();
%>
<tr>
<td>
<%out.print(b.getName());%>
</td>
<td>
<%out.print(b.getAdress());%>
</td>
</tr>
%>
</table>...
No i want to give a button to the user. When pressed, the HTML-Page should transform to PDF.
With such a method i want to print the HTML-Page.
I Know that this is possible with the help of XML/XSP and a stylesheet. But i like to do that with this way:JavaBeans-->JSP-->HTML-->PDF
Anyone a solution, some code examples for me?
Or perhaps another solution to print HTML-Pages in a fine design?
Thank you for your help
Andy

Hi,
no one any idea?
How do you print Jsp Pages?
Thank you

Printing a HTML page in a JTextPane

Hi all..
I nned to develop a report generating system for one of the softwares that I am writing and I am planing to generat the report as a HTML page (both text and images) and users can preview them on a JTextPane and can save to disk as html files for further use.
I also want to add functionality to the application to print the report through java.
what I want to do is to print what is displayed in JTextPane (Content Type: text/html)
I am familiour with Printable interface what I cant figure out is how to make the JTextPane printable and how to send the data in JTextPane to printers Graphic object
Can somebody give a sample code for this.
Also if you know any other way of printing a HTML formated text without use of any other componant like JTextPane please tel me how to do it.

We had done the same using the JEditor Pane and later print the JEditorPane using the print API..
Here is the code to include the html file.
mainPane = new JEditorPane("file:///C:/project/JavaPrintingAPI/AddGlobalProduct.html");
mainPane.setEditable(false);If it work... hungry for yummy dukes... :-)

Printing XLS, HTML, or RTF using Apache FOP

Hi,
Is it possible to print XLS, HTML, or RTF reports using Apache FOP? If not, is there another open source or free print server that will do this?
Thank you.

Hello,
>>
Your going to want to study the Cocoon sitemap concept to see how to pipeline the xml and xsl to the right output.
>>
To get this working correctly you need to understand the Cocoon sitemap concept and how to read data out of the XML file your posting in order to pipeline it to the right rendering format. It's pretty much a hands on affair so it depends on what your trying to do, sorry there is no easier way to do it.
In a future versions it will be easier to do this as you will be able to select specific end points per report.

Problem Printing an HTML Sprite

Hi,
In an AIR app with an HTML Control (Sprite) - I want to print
the HTML.
If the HTML content is to large for the sprite (i.e. there
are scroll bars) then only the visible content is printed.
Is it possible to ensure the entire HTML content is
printed???
Thanks

// Must set the content type first
res.setContentType("text/html");
// Now we can obtain a PrintWriter
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
out.println("<html><head><title>Hello World!</title></head>");
//out.println("<body><h1>Hello World!</h1></body></html>");
out.println("<body><h1>");
out.println(defaultGreeting + " " + defaultName + "!");
out.println("</h1></body></html>");
This is to be done inside a servlet

Print an HTML string as normal text

Here is the program tht I have written:
This program compiles but doesnt give the required output.
Any suggestions:
package test.print;
import java.io.*;
public class printHTML
public printHTML()
public static void main(String[] args)
printHTML printHtml = new printHTML();
File htmlFile = new File("C:\\Jayashree\\Examples\\printHTML\\testPrint.html");
System.out.println("File name:" + htmlFile);
printHtml.print(htmlFile);
public void print(File htmlFile)
try
// PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new ByteArrayOutputStream());
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(htmlFile)));
System.out.println("Print Writer object:" + out);
out.println(htmlFile);
out.flush();
out.close();
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("Exception:" + e.toString());
e.printStackTrace();
Further, if i have an file with strings like

The only printer related funciton in my application is "Print To HTML."

Although this does tend to point to the function where your application prints, I wouldn't trust the message.
What you need to do will be time consuming, but will be necessary to troubleshoot your application.
In iterative steps, perform the following:
Open your VI's diagram.
Place the VI in Highlight Execution Mode.
Run the main VI and watch the diagram in question for the node that causes the whole mess to crash.
Once you have isolated the node, unless it isn't a subVI, open the subVI, and repeat these steps until you find a node that isn't a subVI (a native function).
This will isolate your problem to the precise node that is causing the problem. From there, you can probably figure out what is going on, or either post the information here, o
r contact NI support (ni.com/ask).

How to print an HTML from an Applet ?

I have a html file which has some images (<img></img> tag ) and some static contents.This html is generated by a Servlet.Currenlty i am doing a browser print. I do not want the print dialog box to appear.
Is it possible to print this using an applet ? Using java print ?
I am able to print a image from an applet using java print.
But i am not able to print a html with images and text.
Is there any way to convert such html into a image(jpeg,bmp) using java api ?

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.
