Select printer when printing panel

I am trying to find a way to print a front panel (graph with data) and be able to select the printer that it is going to. I have find in the library "print panel to printer.vi" which is great, BUT I can not find a way to send the data for the graph into that vi. How do I pass data for the vi to be printer to this function?

The vi "print panel to printer.vi" print the panel of the calling vi, so
you have to call the "print panel to printer.vi" from the vi containing
your graph. To select the printer you can use the menu item "printer
setting..."

OK, so if I understand correctly. I put the "print panel to printer.vi" inside the vi that I want to print. In this way the data will be passed to it normally, the graph can be setup, then the last thing that I do is call "print panel to printer.vi" including the name of the printer that I want to use, RIGHT?

My only other concern is that the "print panel to printer.vi" has a note on its panel that it only works on Win95/NT. Is this true? What about 98, 2000, and XP?
