[AccessD] Sending text direct to printer, Solution!

Hi Gustav:

Good point. In this case, it shouldn't matter, since it will be sent to a HP
Jet Direct Print Server. Basically, the barcodes print out automatically,
and are slapped on a pallet with other information.

Thanks again to all regarding this problem.

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!
