Report Print.VI redirects to the wrong printer if error on intended printer

I have an application that involves a Zebra barcode printer and an HP letter-sized printer, both connected via USB to an XP box running LV2011. I need to send binary files directly to the label printer so I have it shared as LPT1 using NETUSE and I use COPY to get the file to the printer. Works great, except for the flash as the DOS screen momentarily appears during the COPY command. I can live with that. Here's the problem: when I use Print Report.VI to send an HTML report to the letter-sized printer it comes out on the label printer if there is any issue with the intended printer (e.g. out of toner). 35 labels later....
1] is there any way to force the print to sit in the HP's queue instead of redirecting to the label printer? I believe the Print Report VI uses IE's default printer regardless of what you specify, so maybe it's also IE that's doing the substitution?
2] is there any way to query the HP printer's "health" before sending a job so I can avoid creating the issue in the first place? I read somewhere that Windows only knows the state of the printer at certain discrete (an not-so-informative) times.

Hi Zwired1,
Just to make sure I fully understand the situation - I am assuming since you say you are printing to two different printers that when you are using the Print Report.vi you are using the printer name string to specify which printer you would like to print on. And if the printer that you specify is not functioning it automatically prints on the other printer, is that correct?
From looking at the code in the Print Report.vi, it looks like if you specify a printer name in the input string, if there is a problem with that printer or if that printer is unavailable, the VI should not print anything, so please let me know if that is not the behavior you are seeing.
For your question about checking the health of printers, there is a VI in the report gen toolkit called Query Available Printers. You can find it if you open up the Print Report.vi and choose the Standard Report instance, the Query Available Printers.vi is on the block diagram of that VI. It will return the list of available printers and the default printer.
I hope that helps,

I cannot get my MacBook Pro to print greyscale on my Canon MG6450. I cannot access the printer driver panel on the Macbook. So I am stuck printing everything in colour and cannot specify which pages I want printed.

Try resetting the printing system:
OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
Next try deleting the system and reinstall the printer..

Printing seems to be the wrong scale

I have a 27" iMac and I have been trying to print very precisely with my canon iP4700 printer. I'm making borderless stickers. I have created a template on Adobe Illustrator to the exact right scale, but when I print, it becomes enlarged. As an example, a sticker with the width of 6.5cm becomes 6.9cm when it is printed. I'm finding it possible to print to the correct scale and have tried altering all the settings. It does say it is printing 100% to size, but it clearly isn't. Has anyone ever experienced this?
Thanks
ps Is it possible for the computer's scale to be wrong?

It is possible that the scale is not accurate. When you think of the number of dots involved, a tiny inaccuracy will be measurable. I would try reducing the borderless extension to the minimum, first of all.

MSN (home page) redirects to the wrong country and language

Hello,
I have a strange problem. I went to Mexico for vacation. While I was there, every time I open my IE, it would redirect me to the Mexican MSN. I assumed, this is normal for MSN redirects to the local (country and language) page. It redirected me to
http://prodigy.msn.com/es-mx/?ocid=iehp page.
Now, I am back home to US. For some reason, MSN is still Mexican. I have an option to change it when I click on the Options in the right top corner of the MSN page, but it does not remember this setting when I close and open my IE.
My Language and Country in Control Panel are correct. Home page in IE did not change and it is
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=255141 If I go to this link directly, it takes me to the US MSN page.
Not sure what else to check. Anyone can help me with this?
Thank you.

have an option to change it when I click on the Options in the right top corner of the MSN page, but it does not remember this setting when I close and open my IE.
So, this sounds like more of an MSN issue than an IE one. But perhaps you should try clearing Cookies at least for that site. You can do that with the Developer Tools, Network tab. (F12, Ctrl-4) Clear Cookies for this domain is the button
that looks like a cookie with a bite out of it. Unfortunately there is no keyboard shortcut for that option.
Good luck

ISE redirect to the wrong domain name

Hello guys,
We changed a domain name of the ISE appliance and it started giving us grief. It was configured to redirect wireless users to the web registration and authentication portal. We properly added all required A records in DNS server and looked everywhere but didn't find anything that could give any clue.
Perhaps the old FQDN get stuck somewhere in the database.
Any idea? Please help !!!

Case Solution:
Connecting to the Active Directory Domain
To reconnect with Active Directory domain, complete the following steps:
Step 1                                                   Choose Administration > Identity Management > External Identity Sources.
Step 2    From the External Identity Sources navigation pane on the left, click Active Directory.
Step 3    Enter the domain name in the Domain Name text box.
Step 4    Enter a friendly name in the Identity Store Name text box for your Active Directory identity source (by default, this value will be AD1).
Step 5    Clicks Save Configuration.
Step 6    To verify if your Cisco ISE node can be connected to the Active Directory domain, click Test Connection. A dialog box appears and prompts you to enter the Active Directory username and password.
Step 7    Enter the Active Directory username and password and click OK.
A dialog box appears with the status of the test connection operation.
Step 8    Click OK.
Step 9    Click Join to join the Cisco ISE node to the Active Directory domain.
The Join Domain dialog box appears.
Step 10    Enter your Active Directory username and password, and click OK.
Step 11    Check the Enable Password Change check box to allow the user to change their password.
Step 12    Check the Enable Machine Authentication check box to allow machine authentication.
Step 13    Check the Enable Machine Access Restrictions (MARs) check box to ensure that the machine authentication results are tied to the user authentication and authorization results. If you check this check box, you must enter the Aging Time in hours.
Step 14    Enter the Aging Time in hours if you have enabled MARs.
This value specifies the expiration time for machine authentication. If the time expires, the user authentication fails. For example, if you have enabled MARs and enter a value of 2 hours, the user authentication fails if the user tries to authenticate after 2 hours.
Step 15    Click Save Configuration.
Step 16. Create Certificate Authentication Profile
Step 17: Import CA Certificates into ISE Certificate Trust Store
Step 18: Configure CA Certificates for Revocation Status Check
Step 19: Enable Client Certificate-Based Authentication

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

TS2235 Hi, how can I print from my IPAD to my wireless HP 6520 printer. I have a wireless network and my IPAD and wireless printer are connected to the same network. But when I send a job, I get the "no air printer found" message.

My windows firewall is disabled (protected by Comcast's Norton program) so that should not be a problem. Should I down load Bonjour?

Hello Bleedingblue65
Check out the section highlighted below to troubleshoot your issues printing through AirPrint.
AirPrint Basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
Verify that the printer:
Has power and is turned on. If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
Has the latest firmware version installed.
Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with the above steps.
Notes:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
Some Wi-Fi AirPrint printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the AirPrint printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.

How to adjust printer page margins on the officejet 6700

How do you adjust the page margins on an Officejet 6700 premium All in One printer. I just bought and set up.
Setup and install went well and every thing seems to be working. I have looked in the set up software and have yet
to find any thing on setting page margins. The issue arose when I printed an email and the right edge of it did not
print.
This question was solved.

As I understand it this has a lot to do with the originators message and format (an example here of users with similar issues). It appears html in the messages can cause this and things like scale to fit may not help. Are you able to export the email and open within word or similar program for printing?

All of a sudden I cant print PDF's with the C4180

The print starts to pull the paper in and then quits, never printing the PDF file. The printer works fine for everyjthing else.

Thank you for the reply. As far as OCR is concerned, I'm not sure. I was able to print PDF up until a week or so ago, but then at first it started asking for an output file name and it would go to my documents. Even then, I couldn't print the PDF. Then a couple days ago it no longer asks for a file name, the paper gets pulled into the printer then stops. I can print everything as always.

Printer sees wifi, Laptop sees wifi, but laptop doesn't see printer

I'm trying to connect my new LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw all in one to my laptop. I've already set it up via USB on my desktop and that went off without a hitch. I got the printer on the wifi (I can print out a Network Summary and Config Report that list the printer's IP and specifically say it's connected to my network) but now I'm running into problems getting my laptop to "see" the printer. Each time I try to run the install, I get the "Can't Find Product(s)" message. I've got my firewall off and I've tried using the troubleshooting methods on the HP site but nothing seems to work.
I've tried manually adding a printer through Windows, but it's not able to find the printer by IP address or hostname.
Please help before I beat the nice new printer with a bat "Office Space"-style.
This question was solved.

It looks like we fixed it. This is what we did:
1) Installed the HP software via USB on the desktop
2)Confirmed that the printer was on the network by pressing the WPS button on the router and pressing holding the WiFi button on the printer for 2 seconds, then seeing a connection successfull message on the printer
3) Still on the desktop, added it as a wireless printer through Windows (Start > Devices and Printers)
4) Shared the printer with all users on the network
5) Switched to the laptop and used WIndows to add a printer. Once we shared the printer from the desktop, the laptop was able to see it.
I am going to go back and try connecting the laptop to the printer via USB to finish installing the scanning software etc. But I was able to print a doc wirelessly so I'm satisfied.
