just picked up a Diagun last week. would love to be able to print so the customer have some kind of record. any update this yet?

Eric · Senior Member

Easiest work-around today is to 'print' and then select 'save to file'. Name the file and then transfer to your PC using Microsoft Active Synch. Print from there.

theK · Senior Member

For those that can't do active sync try saving the file as an image, create a folder for the pages you want to print later, then open the TF card on your PC to view the images as "photos" (your PC will open with the default program for viewing photos). The size of the image can then be adjusted like you would a picture from a camera.

BUMP -

If you are going to save your file to print later, you need to save to 'STORAGE CARD' within my device.

Otherwise it will only save one print job and delete the rest.

You can also create a folder within 'storage card' to save all print jobs.

Remember that when you update your software and format the microSD card all print jobs will be erased.

its about time it work right with mw 260

theK · Senior Member

You can now print directly from your Diagun to a printer (using the Print cable included with the Diagun). Acceptable printers include Brother, HP and Epson brands. Select "Other printer" if you do not see your brand of printer. Images print roughly 1/4 of an 8 1/2 x 11 " paper.

I noticed there is 'X431 printer pack' 2.0 available for download in the Diagun download center. Is this required for the new printing capabilities?

Rips Wellingsworth III · Member

Eric

The X431 PrinterPack 2.0 is the multiple printer driver needed for utilizing the print function.

The printer pack 1.0 driver was developed for the compact diagun printer, which I do not know if they are going to release the actual printer anytime soon.

But the 2.0 printer driver worked just fine for me on 3 different printer manufacturers.

can't wait until the Diabazuka comes out.

Still a little unclear for Diagun printing. Do you install both drivers on a Diagun?

Rips Wellingsworth III · Member

Just the 2.0 printer driver ~ thats the one to use with your printer.

The other printer driver was for a portable printer they were making just for the Diagun, which has not been released yet. So no need to worry about that printer driver.

Just go with the 2.0 and you should be able to print on your own printer.

Pip .... Pip and all that rot good buddy

Update: I tried to install the X431 printer pack V 2.0 and it will not show up in the update tools because it does not have the smartbox number attached to the file name. When you download the printer pack this is what you see: X431_PrinterPack_V_2_0_EN

All of your other files have 5 digits of your Smartbox number showing at the end of the file name.

I remember this issue because the Launch engineers released this same printer pack to Diagun users 3 or 4 months ago and the same issue came up. They removed it after a week or so.

Do you need to manipulate the filename?

Interesting. Thank you for sharing DJHeights4eva.

I looked up some specs on the printer (http://www.lexmark.com/US/products/tech_specs_/0,6583,MzQxM3wx,00.html) and I think this may be key:

Printing Langauges (Standard) : PCL 6 Emulation

I'm far from a computer guru, but I know that this is something the Diagun drivers look for.

Hope That Helps,

Mr. G

Stev214,

According to Brother (http://www.brother-usa.com/Mobile/modeldetail.aspx?PRODUCTID=MW260&tab=spec&PG=7)

That printer doesn't show any PCL communication at all, not to say that the website is 100% accurate.

Hope That Helps,

Mr. G

Just tested a newer Lexmark inkjet printer S315 that claims to have PCL 6 Emulation but it definitely doesn't work.

To me it seems the problem is with the Diagun printer driver and not which printer language is supported. When you select 'other printers', there are only 2 choices for 'Port': 'IRDA' or 'Network'.

It seems to me it would require a 'USB' port selection in order to work. No matter what combination I try, I'm getting the error message 'Not found printer'.

If you go through the 'Brother' option and select 'printer setting' you will find the following 'Port' options: USB, FILE, COM0-COM9,BSP1-BSP4.

Guess it is Launch mini printer or nothing.

I've had the Diagun Mini Printer for a couple of weeks. Works great if you don't mind spending a little extra cash compared to regular inkjet.

1. Connect old printer.
2.wince5 ask about driver-write " usbprn.dll ".If windows closed-printer can work with Diagun,if open again -no.
3.Reset.
4.Test print.Set port-LPT1.
I print with HP Offset 6000,hp laserJet 1300 .
If wince5 no ask about driver-uninstall printerpack 2.
