I have been looking into setting up an appointment card printer at work for a few days now, and its beginning to frustrate me! Initially, having been able to do this before but on slightly different systems at a previous workplace, I am keen to implement it at my new job. The new place I work uses a Vision clinical database system, and having explored all of the avenues on printing directly from the clinical system to the appointments printer, and being advised by the supplier that it wont work with the Dymo Label Writer 310 printer, I am looking at other ways.

My current thought is to print to a virtual printer and then using the Dymo software print the labels from there using the data in the clipboard. My one problem is finding a decent (and free) virtual printer. Has anyone got any suggestions? :S Should I give this up altogether!? Im not used to being defeated!

Many thanks in advance,

Rich

print to pdf ? then print the pdf file to the dyno printer ?

+1 - Cute PDF should do the job. Just hope the staff aren't as thick as the ones at my place though!

Cheers for the replies. I have played with this a fair bit this week. Ideally what I need is a decent virtual printer (free too!) - using that to copy the label from the clinical system to the clipboard / or a temporary file, and then using the dymo software to print the label. After trawling the internet most the free ones are only for a limited amount of time, or don't use the right formats! I guess I am asking a lot really - I have spent a day or so in terms of company time trawling / trying for the right thing. So it has had to go on the back burner for a bit, unless anyone has any other good ideas? :think: Its so frustrating that the database can't just print to the label printer properly!!
