I am trying to print UPS shipping labels using a Zebra label printer. Apparently these printers have the label form programmed into the firmware and all I have to do is send a particular string of text to the port the printer is connected to (USB) and voila, the printer makes the label correctly.
How do I send unformatted text to a printer port using MS Access? I've got version 2003 in a Win XP environment.
Thanks!
Jim

Try the following code to send unformatted Tetxt to a Local Printer at LPT1: - Open "LPT1" For Output As #1
-
Print #1, "This is just a Test"
-
Close #1

I think that should be "LPT1:" notice the colon.

Thanks for pointing that out to me.

..... printer is connected to (USB) ......
I suppose that printer port is called "USBxxx" instead of "LPTx:". That should be checked in the printer properties.
