Printing on some OS's / printers has been a long time problem of DAQFactory which is not easy for us to fix.  Your best bet is to use the printPDF() function to print the page to a file, then use system.shellExecute() to trigger the printing of that page through acrobat.  So, something like:

 

page.printPDF("myPage", "c:\daqfactory\myFile.pdf", 11, 8.5)

System.shellExecute("c:\daqfactory\myFile.pdf", "print")

page.printPDF("myPage", "c:\daqfactory\myFile.pdf", 11, 8.5)  it is ok.

System.shellExecute("c:\daqfactory\myFile.pdf", "print")   this function not working,

Do you have adobe acrobat reader installed?  You may have to call it directly:

 

system.shellExecute("c:\program files\adobe\acrobat.exe", "print", "c:\daqfactory\myFile.pdf")

 

adjust the path to acrobat accordingly.

system.shellExecute("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe", "open", "c:\myFile.pdf") this is working.

 

but when you write "print" command it is not working.

You might try putting /p before the file name:

 

system.shellExecute("C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe", "open", "/p c:\myFile.pdf")

 

Search for acrobat command line switches on the net to see some other options.

Yes, that has been my general experience.  Something about the HP driver doesn't handle scaling.  We can make it work consistently, but then the image is like 1" x 1".
