I have finally gotten around to trying Erel's suggestion in a previous post from May that is too old to post to now. I was too busy painting the rest of my military miniature armies.

Are you using PrintHtml? You can reference files from any folder.
Code:
Sub Print
printer.PrintHtml("job", $"<b>Hello world!!!</b><br/>
<h1>second line</h1>
<img src="file://${File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal, "smiley.png")}"/>"$)
End Sub
EndQuote:
My code looks like this. I had to remove the title and header to get it to compile. It looked to me that the syntax with them in was treating the "File" method as part of the HTML.
I get this message in the log "JobName: Print Game Map" but nothing gets sent to the printer. I view the tablet's notifications and see nothing getting sent. Earlier on in my program I call the Excel app and I can print from there so I know that the communication between the tablet and wireless printer is working. I do see the spreadsheet getting sent in Notifications.
Am I missing something in my approach?
