I am using docmd.printout to send Reports (formatted as labels) to a
barcode label printer. I need to collate the labels so that I print
lable 1 twice, then label 2 twice, then label 3 twice, etc. The
printout collate option only seems to work if the printer supports it.
The label printer I am using doesn't collate via the printout command
option, but it does have a command language that will collate IF I can
find a way to send the command to the printer. Any ideas? Maybe I
need to use something besides printout to control the printer?

Just a thought ---
Base your label report on a query and then try unioning the query to itself.
You should then get two of every label.

Thank you so much! I WAS printing the first label, then printing the
first label again, then incrementing the numbers, then printing the
second label, etc. I had to put in a long pause between each print so
that printer could keep up and not get overwhelmed with so many
separate print tasks. But your simple and elegant solution prints
each label twice, and it's fast and accurate. Thank you. I don't
have much experience with queries and now I see why they are so
important.

I wish you would fix up the T.S. Eliot quote ypu have there, which is both
in the wrong order and messing up a word. It seems risky assuming that no
one who might want to hire you would have any sort of literary background
that would cause this to sour them....
Beyond that, anyone who understands the context of The Rock in general and
that poem in particular will likely conclude that either you do not have
such an understanding or that you are insulting them. But thats another
matter, and you should feel free to either fawn ignorance or insult
potential customers as much as you like. :-)

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to solve a particular
problem. A client wants to print barcode labels from their (web/php
based application). The barcode labels are very small, so I'm guessing
that doing a screendump via a standard inkjet isn't going to work
(i.e. might need somehow to print to a barcode printer!)
Any ideas where to start?
Thanks in advance.

I'm using the following line of code to print only the first page of a
report:
DoCmd.PrintOut acPages, 1, 1
This works fine with one limitation. It sends the report to the default
printer. Is there some way to show the printer selection window before
sending the report to the printer?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi everyone!
Does anyone know how can I do barcode printing?
First of all, I know I have to write a client executable,
but how do I communicate with the thermal printer?
Using software the company I work for needs to buy like Seagull Bartender,
or some other label printing software or can I get access to the printer
directly?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
