Help My printer doesn't "print window"

[TSchmid]

Hy Out there,

I have a severe problem. From now to then my LabVIEW5.1 does not print out
on a standard printers anymore.

I want to print out the Front Panel of a VI with the menue item File/print
window.
The result is a katastophe when I print on a DeskJet with Ink.

!!!=> Thousends of ASCII characters are printed in the same line, but no
picture of the Front Panel <=!!!!

The ink spreads it self all over the paper and the printer. So I tried on a
LaserJet, At least no mess but same result. Thousends of Characters in one
line but no Front Panel on the paper.

How can I solve this Mess ??

The first thing I would look at would be the driver for the printer. Go to their web site and make sure you have their latest driver. If that does not help then go to NIs website and get the free update to LV5.11, from LV5.1:
ftp://ftp.natinst.com/support/labview/updates/windows/5.1.1/

Good Luck,
Doug
