Can anyone advise me utility for printing from Quindos 6 in Windows XP ?We using Flexreport but it didnt work well.Many times printig take few minutes and we must waiting for it before continue in work.
Not sure what you are asking for? You can print directly from Quindos6 in Windows XP, a 'utility' is not needed.
An alternative to directly printing is sending the Quindos reports to a file, which would be in HPGL format. At that point a software that recognizes HPGL is needed to print.
Please contact us a Hexagon for more clarification.
We must using it because we have USB printer not LPT2 and Quindos 6 is unable to use USB port.Or if You have any tip how use USB printer in Quindo 6 ,pls post it here.
I wrote a procedure which I put in all my programs. It outputs the Quindos 6 inspection report as a .Doc file. Then you can open it in MS Word and print it out.
If you would like, send me a private message with your contact information and I will send you my procedure.
Quindos6 can print to a USB printer. The printer must be set up as a shared printer under LPT2 using a batch file, (see below)

To connect a USB Printer to Quindos6 perform the following steps:
- Install Printer, so that it works from Windows
- Share Printer i.e. as ‚USB_PRI'
- Use Notepad to make a short script, insert the following 2 lines:
NET USE LPT2: /DELETE
NET USE LPT2: \\YourComputerName\USB_PRI
- Save this script as NETUSE.BAT in STARTUP of your user or All Users
- Execute script by double click
- Open DOS-Window and type NET USE
It should show port LPT2 connected to \\YourComputerName\USB_PRI
NOTE: This does only work, if your computer is connected to any net work by cable
In Quindos the device Name must be set to LPT2 for usage of the USB-Printer
This unfortunately doesnt work for our printer because is too new.This procedure work only for old usb printers.We have now one old printer LPT1 and we can now print plot output,but new printig challenges started.
