barcode printing?

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?

I just need to print a label, a ticket.

Thanks in advance!

Well, the problem is that this group is for ASP.NET questions.

Try to google your question
http://www.google.com/search?q=vb6+%...inter%22&hl=en

or ask it in the right group...

is there a group in here for vb6?

I guess, that your're not willing to send me the code,
Client confidentiality forbids it...
but could you please give me a hint on printing from word to the thermal
printer?
By calling the printout method?
Yep - simple Word automation.

Er, for the record I *NEVER* suggested using VB6!!! What an utterly
ridiculous idea, especially as mainstream support ended for VB6 over two
years ago...

You're not seriously going to use VB6, are you...?

I don't need the client's data,
could you send me the font you used for barcode printing please?

I'm having trouble with that being read by the barcode scanner!

I haven't worked with windows forms before,
so I'm feeling more comfortable with vb6,
and I have the code ready to do the job too!

Besides, there should be no need to install .net framework on the client's
computer that way!

If you like, send me the word template too,
erase the labels, I don't want to know the client's data...

Once more, my email is pa********@yaho o.gr,
please send me the font at least,
I'm in a desperate need for it at the moment!

Has nothing to do with data... The code I wrote belongs to the client - it's
not mine to give to anybody, even you...

Does your client know that you are proposing to use obsolete development
technology...? If I were your boss, I'd fire you on the spot...

You're not *seriously* suggesting that that's a valid reason to use VB6, are

I have an asp.net application which loads a Crystal Reports ReportDocument, passes in parameters for selecting data from the report's database connection, renders the report for previewing on the client then allows the user to print the report on a networked printer. To avoid having to launch an external application on the client I use a server-side print method. When I call ReportDocument.PrintToPrinter the report comes out fine but the...

Hi, I am in the design phase of building a database that will track the productivity of my warehouse. I am thinking of using a barcode scanner to assist me with this.

Most of the customer are printing from export raw file or direct link to AS/400 for data retrieval if the backend database is DB2. Hence in order to print to barcode printer, the output file has to embedded with printer protocol command and send for printing. Is there any way to direct print from AS/400 IPDS to Barcode printer through Driver ? Or is there any AS/400 emulation middleware that had barcode printer driver intact?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
