`window = system.gui.getParentWindow(event)
#rc = window.rootContainer.getComponent("Container")
rc = window.rootContainer
job = system.print.createPrintJob(rc)
job.setMargins(0.5)
job.showPageFormat = 1
job.orientation = 0
job.print()
`  
Version 7.6.3  
This is the event on a print button which is located inside a template on my window.  
The template path is a client tag.  
I am using this button in all my templates to print the template inside the window and the template is the same size of the window.  
I am printing different sized images depending on which printer I’m using and I would like to stretch the image to print on the entire page if possible.

Another issue I am having is that over VPN, I can only print 2 templates. One of them has few tags and the other template path is the client tag value on startup. Every other print attempt results in a null pointer exception error and the project flashing and repainting over and over again until I close it.

here is the error:

If you are having problems with zoom, there are a few settings for the system.print.createPrintJob() function. You can see all the options in the [user manual](http://localhost:8088/main/system/help/system_print_createprintjob.htm).

You say you are having problems printing a 3rd time through VPN, but are you using a script that prints multiple times, or is it a button that works the first two times it’s pressed then stops after that?
