If you simply want to print the front panel, use the Vi method Print.VI to Printer.
If you want more, you'll need to create a PDF or Word report with a (3rd party) toolkit.

Thank you, I tried. Print.VI print the whole Front panel. But I would like to print the multi-column list box.
Please guide me, thank you.

I faced the same situation as you do in the past. What I did is to create a sub VI that I called to print. The front panel color was white and only the things I needed to print was shown with the formatting I needed. By doing so, I didn't had to change my GUI.

Yes, you'll either need to make a front panel suitable for printing, and then print it, or create a PDF or Word (etc.) report with a (3rd party) toolkit.

Look in the report generation toolkit (Functions>Programming>Report Generation). You can just make a standard report, then use 'Append Control Image to Report', then print from there.
