Using the print dialog box of Windows

Hallo,
how can I use the Windows printing dialog box for selecting a printer ?
(I use LabWindows 5.0.1)
Regards HGalle

Our printing functions (PrintCtrl, PrintPanel, etc.) will bring up the print dialog if you select to show it in the function call. If you weren't using our print function, you can bring up the Windows print dialog box with the Windows SDK function PrintDlg. Consult SDK documentation for help with this function.

    Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this option?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Can't see printer name in the print dialog box as the printer name is too long

    This is actually causing siginificant pain as I am using a tablet and moving around a number of floors/buildings needing to be able to print from where I am.
    When printing from Acrobat reader, the print dialog box that comes up does not have a horizontal scroll bar and does not fit in the names of the printers in my organisation. We are unable to change the printer name, so it basically means that when using Acrobat, we can't select a printer.
    All other windows applications show more characters and also have a horizontal scroll bar in the print dialog box so you can scroll across to see the rest of a long printer name. Why is acrobat not using the standard windows print dialog?
    Has anyone come across this? Help!

    This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. In the future you should check there. I am not sure why you can not change the printer name, unless you do not have administrator rights. The name of the printer has nothing to do with where the print copy is sent. It is just for the purpose you mentioned of identifying the printer to print to. If you are not the administrator, ask your IT folks to change the name for you and explain why.

  • How to suppress the Print Dialog Box?

    Running an (ASP.NET /Crystal Reports 2008) application and using CrystalReportViewer control. Is there way to suppress the print dialog box when I click the print icon on the report tool bar?
    Edited by: juRamz on Aug 26, 2009 2:54 PM

    Hello,
    Sort of, CR needs the info. Only option is to create your own print button that has all the info filled in. It's a Windows Framework Common dialog box that CR calls so it's the OS that is prompting for the info.
    Using ReportClientDoc here's a possible solution, note that this too has a dialog box to select the printer:
    private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) // Print To Printer button
        System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();               
        PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
        CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions newOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
        //CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions newOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
        pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
        rasPROpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
        rasPROpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
            pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboCurrentPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;
        rasPROpts.PaperSource = (CrPaperSourceEnum)
            pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources[cboDefaultPaperTrays.SelectedIndex].Kind;
        // new API added to allow changing printing options
        newOpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions();
        newOpts.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
        rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.ModifyPageMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
        rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(rasPROpts);
        MessageBox.Show("Printing report.", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information );
    Thank you

  • Adobe Reader XI - print dialog box blank - Windows 8

    Using the latest version of Adobe Reader XI, The print dialog box either comes up blank as shown in file 1 and I have no control over printing. OR it comes up with all the labels missing, see File 2 - yet I can control some features by clicking on the blank boxes.

    One reason that the Acrobat/Reader dialogs will not display correctly is when the needed system fonts have been removed or uninstalled.
    Or it may be that the default font is changed.
    Try to reinstalled the Segoe font family and check if it corrects the issue.
    Also You can follow the below steps for restoring the default font and removing any font changes you’ve made. After the restore, check if the issue is resolved or not?
    1. Open Fonts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Fonts.
    2. In the left pane, click Font settings.
    3. Click Restore default font settings.
    You can also check the corrupted fonts by running Microsoft’s Font Validator from http://www.microsoft.com/typography/FontValidator.mspx

  • CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

    CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print.  Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print.  This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be.  I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes.  The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
    Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).

  • Current View option in  the Print dialog box

    I have a PDF file, approximately 55 pages that is comrpised of 50+ .jpg images that were combined into a single PDF file. The images are various size screenshots from Facebook.
    I need to be able to print the entire file at 75% magnification in order for every page to be readable.  Only way in Adobe’s print dialog box that I can find to do so is select one page at a time, select “Current View” and then print. 
    When "All" is selected under Print Range in the Print Dialog box, the pages print at different magnifications, most below 10% and unreadable.
    Is there a way to get the entire document to print in the “Current View” setting or at a specified magnification?
    I’m using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    duh...
    Figured out I had to tweak it in the "copies and Pages"

  • I can no longer print to the 3 Canon printers on my local area network. The print dialog box states that the print file is accepted and the job is printing, but the files never print. Everything worked when the computer and printers were initially set up.

    I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
    I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

  • PUT BACK THE MISSING THE SCREEN FUNCTION IN THE PRINT DIALOG BOX!!!!

    Hello all...
    I am a creative director in the screen print (garment industry) for over 20 years.  We have always used PS to directly print and control our halftone screens and angles through the screen function in the print dialog box.  Now it has miraculously disappeared after so many versions previous.
    I emplore Adobe and their team to please update this function back into CS5.
    Although it is a function many might not even understand how to use, it is IMPERATIVE to the screen printer/artist in this industry.
    There are workarounds, of course, but they are much more tedious and time consuming.
    I truly cannot convince enough that we folks in this industry want this function back!!!!!

  • Problem using the File Dialog Box in a Client/Server application

    I am developping a client-server application using Labview 5.1 . The application on the server acquires data from some instruments and saves it on file, while the application on the clients displayes such acquired data. For doing this I call some routines on the server via the "Open Application vi" (remote connection). All goes well except when I open on the server the "File Dialog Box vi" : in this case the application on the clients is blocked (is blocked the execution of the called vi on the server). Only when
    the File Dialog Box on the server is closed, the execution of the called vi on the server starts again.
    I need to use the File Dialog Box on the server, but I don' t want to stop at the same time
    the clients !!
    I need help for resolving such problem.
    Many thanks in advance !!!

    A call to the file dialog box will call a modal system dialog. So LV can't go on executing VIs in the user interface thread."
    Are you sure? I think, that File Dialog, called by LabVIEW File Dialog from Advanced File Functions Palette doesn't blocking any cycles in subVI, which running in UI Thread. Look in my old example (that was prepared for other topic, but may be good for this topic too).
    2 linus:
    I think, you must a little bit reorganize you application for to do this. You must put your File Dialog into separated cycle. This cycle, of course, will be blocked when File Dialog appear on the screen. But other cy
    cle, which responsible for visualization will run continuosly at the same time...

  • Where do I find the printer dialog box to change the setting that asks me to save a file before printing

    Where do I find the printer dialog box to change the setting that asks me to save a file before printing

    Hi Sara,
    The problem is every time I try to copy a page from a website or attachment sent to me or anything that I don't create, the dialog box says I have to save it before I can print -- there are no other options on the dialog box.  Very frustrating -- one of the girls in my office is having the same problem and we can't find a way around it.
    Hope you can help
    Thanks

  • Is here a way to disable the print dialog box?

    I am trying to disable the print dialog box so that a page can print directly from a javascript "print" command. How can I disable the print dialog box so that it will print automatically?

    You can try creating a new boolean preference - '''print.use_native_print_dialog''' - and set it to '''false''' and see it that still works. That pref was removed from about:config a number of versions ago, but the underlying code might still be present, so give it a try.

  • 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.
