output pass or fail result to printer

[Amit4]

Hello,

I need to add a printer to our existing test system fixture and write a VI that would print the either pass or fail result once the product has been tested.  But I don't know what kind of printer I need and where to start writing VI.  Do I need one of receipt printer or any kind of printer would work?  Any ideas.

Thank  you in advance.

The Report Generation Toolkit has a print function.  I just prints the report to the default printer.

Any printer will work.  Like crossrulz said, the Report Generation Toolkit will print to the default printer.

Here's a cheap-and-easy method Ive used:

This may work if you don't have the Report toolkit:

I switched to the first method when I found that the second doesn't work well in Windows 7, but I haven't tried it in LabVIEW 2013 (it's a bug that may have been fixed).

With either method, simply make the Front Panel of your VI look like the report you want.  I'll usually hide any controls (Print, Exit) before printing then re-show them when it's done.
