I’m using system.createPrintJob(event.source.parent.parent)  
(print button is inside of container…hence parent.parent.)  
Issue is not all of my components are showing . Drop down data, couple of labels and text from multistate indicators not showing. Graphs and everything else show and print fine.  
Any suggestion?

What Ignition version, exactly? Some issues with printing on the embedded Java for client/designer are fixed in 7.9.14.

I was running 7.9.10…just updated to 7.9.14 with same issue.  
Works fine in designer but as a client some labels and such do not show all data.  
Code is on button within a container on main screen. thus parent.parent.

[code]  
job = system.print.createPrintJob(event.source.parent.parent)  
job.setOrientation(0)  
job.setMargins(0.25)  
job.print()

[code/]

I’ve added a document with what I’m printing. Any other suggestions?? I’ve updated to 7.9.14 but still have client printing issues.  
Thank you,

There are some similar posts about it...

> Hello, I am experiencing an issue when printing out a window. I am using 7.9.10. Whenever I print something out the text is missing from it. I have read that this is a bug that has to do with Java and to use the JPL file instead of running the project from the client but my only issue with that is that on startup I cannot run the JPL file because the gateway is not running. Is there any other work around to get the project to startup. Or to fix the missing text issue?

I just discovered if you make the text HTML it seems to print without the work around.

To do this put: \<HTML\> before your text.
