Hi team, I need to print labels automatically from a Vision client without requiring a button click. I've implemented the logic in the change event of a client tag. The printers available on the client systems are also configured on the gateway server. The same logic works as expected with my loca…

system.report.executeAndDistribute only ever runs in gateway scope, and can only reach printers directly available to the gateway. (The gateway service user, specifically.)

You can use executeReport instead, to get the report bytes as a PDF, then pass that to the local printer directly using a modified form of the code Jordan posted here: [image] Printing to a local client printer in a Vision client Ignition I had this done up ye…

[image] Dharani_T: from javax.print import PrintServiceLookup as PSL This is not how I print in Vision. My printing normally looks something like this: objectToBePrinted = # Get this somehow # Pass the object to be printed into the createPrintJob utility function job = system.print.createPr…

Hi, I have tried the suggested method, why am i getting the below error? [image] Pl Note: I have set Microsoft print to pdf as default. I am also getting below error in the printer queue, if i set the default printer [image]

I have tried this, but how to pass objectToBePrinted from report? I am stuck at this point.

Justin's code only works for actual vision components or windows, not for arbitrary binary objects. You must use the print service for arbitrary content, and you need to send the arbitrary content through a printer driver that understands it. PDF may not be supported.

Hi, Now i have tried with different approach and it is working properly. Only prerequisite of this script is to have Adobe reader. Do u see any issue here? import os import sys import traceback from java.io import FileOutputStream # Cache the Acrobat path to avoid searching each time acrobat_path…

[image] Dharani_T: Only prerequisite of this script is to have Adobe reader. That's a significant caveat on its own. You're depending both on Acrobat being installed and it continuing to support this immediate print command line flag. I would attempt to accomplish this task entirely using Jav…

Also I tried your code with container print logic and it is working properly.
