Label Problem

Author: Jeff Johnson

Posted: 2011-11-02 20:08:03   Link

I have a customer that is using an Access program that prints labels and

is evaluating my software to replace it. My application works great

with label printers! When I went to print labels on his system the

labels would not print. When I tried to print a normal print out from

my application it tried to print it to the label printer!

So the Access programmer is doing some magic to get the labels to work.

I won't be able to sell my application unless the labels work.

My questions are, can I set up two printers in "Printers & Faxes" that

point to the same printer?

Should I create a "report" instead of a label and send it to the label

printer to over ride the printer settings?

Thank you in advance for your expert advice. I really appreciate it!!!

You can setup as many "printer names" as you want, each pointing to the

same physical printer.

Each "printer name" can have the same or different settings.

Richard: (and Ted of course!)

I could not do this. When I added a printer is wants a new one that is

not assigned.

Am I missing something?

WAG here. Instead of a print server off the AD you might try to use

the IP so it thinks it is a different printer.

I have never done this before having two settings for the same printer.

You just have to add a new port with the same properties as the old, then

install the printer.

Richard: It was adding the port I was missing. I added a USB port and

was able to add the printer. Thank you!

And Ted, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you finding my emails in

the archives! That's right up there with automating PDF instead of

using word! ;^)

Thanks guys!

I added a printer in "Printer & Faxes" and put it on the same port as

the other printer. USB003 in this case. Gave it a new name, set the

properties, and it worked fine! The other guy still has his labels hard

coded and mine work using printer properties.

Thanks all,

Jeff
