Labels won't print
Hi,

XP Home and Pro
VB6 (SP6)

We're using AR2 and have designed a Label which takes it's info from a DAO MDB.

The problem is that no matter whether we use USB, Serial, or Parallel connection to the Datamax E Class Printer, the labels will not print. The Datamax flashes as if it's receiving data, but no go.

We've tried preselecting the printer from within code, as well as select the printer from the Print Dialog.

We've also tried using the standard Generic / Text driver, as well as the Datamax drivers, but nada, zilch. :-(

Another commercial program, which does similar labels, works fine.

Has anyone run into this?

Thanks.

Hello,

Is it a dot matrix printer, you are trying to print to. Try setting the rendermode to 1.

Regards,
Prantik

Re: Labels won't print
Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

The DATAMAX E-4203 is aThermal Printer. We have spent hours tweaking the drivers (From Datamax site), but the same problem occurs ... Flashes as if data is arriving, but no print and no error.

RendeMode doesn't change anything. :(

Thanks.

Re: Labels won't print
Hello,

Can you check if you can print to the Datamax printer from a normal vb6 form (probably printform method)? If it can print from the vb6 form , then it should be able to print from ActiveReports as well.Also, please check if the print from ActiveReports is qued in the printer's print queue or not.

Regards,
Prantik
