[AccessD] Sending text direct to printer, Solution!

Hi Larry

That will work. However, be prepared the printing process will be much longer than sending strings directly to the printer.
It may not matter in your situation, but if you print to a POS receipt printer it will, as in that situation every second counts.

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!
