There is two ways to call a network printer. Simply make it the default printer on you system or use the full name as specified in the printer control panel.

I just tested the responce and again, what I get is this. I have two network printers on my system and a PDF printer driver. A create a print panel callback of my CVI main panel and in the callback I simplyu put.

PrintPanel (panelHandle, "", 1, VAL_FULL_PANEL, 1);

When I execure my print command, I get a popup dialoge box showing all the installed resources on my PC. One is the Local PDF print driver and two point to networked printer resources.

If you have no printer resources you have to add them to you PC using the windows printers dialogues.
