Hi!

So I am back here after a long time.
Anyhow, I am facing one problem with direct printing to GDI thermo-transfer printer. We have to print out the BarCode labels that we print only with using a SW package that came with the printer. I was wandering you any of you have any experience with solving a similar task- to print out labels directly from VB/VBA.
Do you?
Any idea?

Many thanks in advance

Sorry, I did not get that.
 
Just print the labels via a report. Of course you have to have the barcode font installed on your PC.
 
Hi!

Thanks for the answer.
Maybe I am looking at my problem from wrong direction.

I cannot print (I cannot manage) on the printer because if I use the system settings (Windows) and driver it offers me only A4, A5, Envelop etc. sizes of the media.
Of course, in the report I can setup my customized size, but I use the roll of 7500 labels in one line.
Not working this way.

But thank you anyhow.

Maybe you don't have the right driver for your printer.
 
Hey my friend. I had the same problem too with my new zebra printer.

Just follow this :
Start
Printers and Settings
File
Server Properties
and click to create a new form. Put everything in Cm .

Then goto Ms Access
Open your report in design view
select file, print
Select the printer name you want
Choose Properties
Select the form you have saved before.

SOS : Some printers like Zebra's ZPL want to go to printer'a properties from the "Start - Printers and Properties menu" and create a Form inside the printer's driver properties.

Just try this up and I believe it will do the job
 
Hi, Pleasure!

Thank you for your idea!
I will try it and I will let you know.

With only best regards
