Brother b-pac3 LabView .net label printing

[James1234]

I've been implementing a brother label printer into my labview application. I have the bpac3 sdk and can successfully print a label using the standard method and property functions of a .net object. I'm struggling to implement an event which after issuing a print, should inform me if the print was successful.

They provide examples in several language (but not Labview). I've been looking at the VB example on creating a callback, but can't get the event to trigger my callback in tabview. I'm using the register event callback in the labview .net section. I run this then sit a loop (until I hit stop) to allow time for the print job to start and complete, but my callback vi does not ever receive an event. I just have a simple dialog to appear if the callback is run.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

James

I created some sample code. This actually does print the label, but as I said once I send the print job to the printer, it do not get an event to tell me if successful or not. For example, if the print does not have a label cartridge, I can send the print job, but the job will fail.

Thanks,

James

I have been looking at this yesterday.... Thought I would utilise an existing printer we have.. On looking at the bpac install it is using activex not .net dll...

I would like to use this method (ActiveX) but it tells me that the object is not creatable. Any ideas?

Can you please check out my snip of code and maybe give me some insight as to why I am getting the error?

I tried changing up the code a little bit. And now I get no errors BUT STILL NO PRINTED STICKER. Is there other documentation on how to use .NET, rather than ActiveX with the printer? And where is the documentation in general? I have the P-Touch software on my computer and can print a sticker successfully. But as soon as I try, using their sample code or my LabVIEW code it doesn't work.
