You can use Windows API function to control 'print function' and write small code to log all details.

121312,

Are you asking about LabVIEW I'd recommend looking at the manuals if you are new to LabVIEW programming.

I'm asking about the same Topic(printing improvement),I don't know how to use the windows API Function.

I have attached My code(get a specific picture from the user and it print it with the default printer with recording Estimated print time ,ink thickness and if there is any error a led should light up).

I have some problems,
first,when I try to do "a paper jam or no paper" in the Printer tray the Led should light up,but it don't

also the second prompt that come up i want it to wait for the printer to print first job then it pop up("Insert The paper Manually in the printer tray If you wish to continue")
another Is there a way Labview can open another program within my code (like opening a program called "IrfanView" to view & edit the picture)

Last, I want to record every single step at a report like if there is an error with a paper jam,size of print data..etc. And save it like a log file, I should do it manually like you can see it at the code or there is a better way?

Thanks,
