Why can't I print to a Zebra 2746e using the report tool kit?

I have read on here how peoople have printed barcodes from LV by sending commands directly to a zebra printer. I am using LV8.2.1 on a windows xp computer. I am sending EPL2 messages to the printer using the report tool kit, but all I get is a couple of line feeds. If I send the commands from a command prompt by coping a test file to the printer port it prints fine. Any thoughts. I have attached my program.

I tried your code against my printer and it works as advertised. Can you print to other printers with it?
By the way, when assembling a string you should use the Format Into String function instead of a string concatenator with a bunch of inputs. It takes up less room and is easier to interpret when troubleshooting.

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import without a problem, but verticals have a red exclamation mark. Help?!

I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import fine, but verticals have a red exclamation mark, and do not import. Help!?

I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

I have researched the knowledge base and found:
Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
The error message is:
Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
Thanks,
Chris

Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.

Why can't I print out PDF files downloaded from the internet?

Such as medical files, applications, etc. They just end up as an "error" in my printer queue. I have used four different printers and three differnt iMac computers. Same problem. What is UP? Do I have to convert it? Becxause, when I do -- and it so graciously "allows" me to -- it reformats and looks like a transmission from the nearest five year old. Thoughts?

Assuming that you're talking about printing from Adobe Reader for iPad or iPhone, you either (1) need an AirPrint-enabled printer, or (2) (for the iPad only), purchase a third party app like Printer Pro from Readdle.
Here's a list of AirPrint-enabled printers:
A List of Printers with AirPrint (updated March 2013)
If you're talking about printing from Reader on your laptop or desktop computer, you're in the wrong forum.

In Elements 12 why can't I suddenly not reposition layers without using the layer panel?

In Elements 12 I have always been able to drag photos from the bin onto a background and easily move them or alter them simply by clicking on those photo/slayers while working on the same background without using the layer panel. A couple days ago I suddenly have to show the layer panel and click on that particular layer in the panel before I am able to move, alter, or delete a particular layer. Also, every time I open a new image or blank file to use as a background, I am suddenly working with a locked background which I don't want, and the directions to un-lock don't seem to work, if that has something to do with it. I didn't change any settings that I know of.

For editing purposes, the thrust of the program is to work in layers, and to do that it is necessary to have the layers palette in view so that the appropriate layer can be made the active layer.
The background layer is locked by default. You can probably drag the padlock to the trash can, or, do your work on a duplicate layer which will come in unlocked.
Try dragging photos from the layers palette to the work area, not up from the photobin to the work area.
Also, go to Edit>Preferences>General and be sure that "Allow Floating Documents in Full Edit Mode" is checked.

[Android]why can't "text reflow" be fixed instead of using the unreliable broken "text inflation"?

text inflation as a desktop-to-mobile-view conversion doesn't work, and can never be fixed.
it will always either fail to make important parts of websites readable, or completely unhinge them.
opera mini, opera mobile(now classic) and opera for android show how well "text reflow" works for desktop pages on mobile devices.
before the opera mobile EOL I never needed mobile versions of pages.
firefox for android already has a text reflow feature, but it is hidden away and unusable because of 2 easily fixable problems.
1. "text inflation", it's completely unnecessary to require enlarged text in order to reflow but with this feature disabled(text to smallest size) there is no reflow.
2. "fixed zoom", currently double-tap zooming will always put the text fullscreen(which on a desktop layout is still too small)
a "fixed zoom" option that always zooms a set % regardless of where you double-tap should allow zooming in to a level where text is readable and should force "text reflow" to reflow text to screen-width.
so why are we still stuck with either messy or unreadable text on desktop pages?

you seem to have missed the point of my post.
firefox has 2 methods to make desktop pages readable on phones, "text reflow" and "text inflation".
text reflow is disabled by default and doesn't work properly because of a few unchangeable settings, even though it is proven to be a very effective and reliable method to make desktop pages work on phones by opera's browsers.
and text inflation is broken because it can never accurately determine what can and can't be inflated.
and my question is why we're still stuck with using text inflation when text reflow is a much better option?

I know this isnt a great way of using query but its part of the assignment ,so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Here it is again......
function BeforePForm return boolean is
segment2 varchar2(10);
begin
srw.message(001,'I just got executed first');
srw.do_sql('select segment1 into :segment2 from xxmssl_po_headers_all');
srw.do_sql('insert into report_trigger_details values(seq2.nextval,:segment2,''po report'',''before parameter form'',''po number is'')');
srw.do_sql('commit');
return (TRUE);
end;
the that i was getting earlier was resolved by using two single quotes....Now the error is....
Error: error putting value in column....
column 'segment2' may not be referenced by parameter triggers..
The insert ran fine until I changed the above function as follows:
function BeforePForm return boolean is
segment2 varchar2(10);
type_code varchar2(10);
org_no number(4);
begin
srw.message(001,'I just got executed first');
srw.do_sql('select segment1,type_lookup_code,org_id into :segment2,:type_code,:org_no from xxmssl_po_headers_all');
srw.do_sql('insert into report_trigger_details values(seq2.nextval,:segment2,''po report'',''before parameter form'',''po number is'':segment2 '',type_code is'':type_code '',org_no is'':org_no )');
srw.do_sql('commit');
return (TRUE);
end;
When i ran it ,it started giving the above mentioned error.I reverted the changes back and recompiled my report but still getting the same error....
Thanks in advance

Why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

Don't know! You'll have to give us more details of what's happening when you try. Can you print other documents OK? When you try to print, does the printer icon appear in the dock - click on it and see if there are any printer messages.

Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

Why can't I print from my ipad?

I've had my iPad for almost a year now and I like it a lot. It looks very good, it performs very well even though I'm far from reaching my goal of only taking my ipad to school, nothing else.
One important reason why this won't be the case for quite a while still is that I can't print from the iPad.
Let me explain. I make quite a number of worksheets. Being a teacher this is one of the things you do so that the students have something to write on and do exercises. Over the years there have been many of these and my initial thought was to put them all on the iPad and print them when needed. But imagine my surprise when I found out that printing from an iPad seems to be near impossible.
Other colleagues of mine got themselves cheap EEPCs and they work fine. They can access the local printer easily printing whatever they wish. But I can't do that! Unless my school buys a new Air-thingy printer from HP I just won't print there! And that just *****.
I've bought a sleek and expensive machine that is so sophisticated - that I can't use it the way I want to. And that isn't even ******** about the file system that seems to be equally messed up.
My question is, why can't I print from the iPad? Printing had been announced many times before the launch of iOS 4 and then, all of a sudden, nothing more. How can this be? Why do I have to buy additional software - which is not really cheap and far from certain to work at all - just to be able to print a few pages?
Please help me understand this, as I see it, major flaw of the iPad and iOS 5.

Thanks guys,
I seem to have understood by now.
To sum it up:
- I can print with the iPad directly if the printer is Airprint compatible.
- I can print via a number of more or less working apps.
I've downloaded some HP software for my iPad and even seem to be able to access it from some other apps, that is except Apples Pages app. Sigh! So whenever I have to make changes in my documents, I still can't print.
GoodReader on the other hand lets me send my documents to the HP app, but the app/HP won't let me print microsoft docs unless I register and send my documents over to HP where the printing prep is being made, then they send it back to me/my printer. Anyway GoodReader blows my layout apart, so I must change it on the iPad, but when I do …
It's a big catch.
You must realize that printing really isn't that comfortable and that as a spoiled old Mac user I might be excused for wishing something more workable.
The truth seems to be that I've got to carry all those docs on a USB-stick, move them over to the Windows-machine at our school and print from there - which is what I do on a daily basis already.
All those workarounds that may or may not work (check out user comments on those printing apps!) are so annoying that my overall question remains pretty much the same.
But I could also rephrase the question: Why can't I print from the so-called best tablet office app even if I am equipped with all the apps I apparently need?
Please understand that this is not Apple-bashing in any way. This is a real problem for me in my everyday life. I won't be persuading my school to buy AirPrint printers just because of my little problem and I honestly don't want to spend more money on printing apps that seem never to even have gone through beta testing.
Still, thanks for you efforts. I guess I'll just have to wait for Microsoft Office for iPad to get that big problem solved.

Why can't i print a pdf file, it's asking for a password and i have no idea what it is it's never asked me before?

why can't I print a pdf file, it's asking for a password and I have no idea what it is it never asked for one before?

Good afternoon SaraThanks for responding. Yes, I have been able to open these files before without a password. Funny thing is it is happening on both my husband's laptop as well as mine. I'd appreciate any help you could give me but the file is very personal. So, if you can assist in a way that won't compromise the security I would be grateful for your help.Thanks and have a great day!Kim Morse

Don't know. What OS and version of PS are you using and what happens when you try to print?

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Why can't I print a document from iphone5 to hp wireless printer?

Try the following steps.
Power off the printer.
Reset the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
Power cycle your router. Disconnect it from power for about 30 seconds and then power it back on.
Once it has completed the reboot, then power the printer back on and make sure it connects to the wi-fi network
Open the content on the phone that you want to print and attempt printing it again.
If that does not do it, then check to see if there is any newer firmware for the printer from HP.
