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
