Hi Folks: Replying to my own post for the archives. I found an alternate method of printing to a lable printer using ZPL II (or another printer control language, for that matter). 1. Setup the printer as a "Generic, Text Only" printer 2. Create a report, no margins. 3. Place one field on the report, you could have get it's source from a memo/text field or a control on a form. The memo field contains all of the printer codes and text. 4. Print the Report to the "Generic, Text Only" printer (or create a button to do this). Thanks!

I'm wondering if there is some additional criteria I need to make it work ... Haven't been able to find any good reference material on this technique. I got it to work yesterday by sharing out the network printer on my machine, then mapping the share to a LPT port. I'd rather not do this.
