How Do I Print to An Intermec 3440 Printer with LabVIEW?

[LaserProcessGuy]

Hi,

I have an old LabVIEW VI that prints characters to a number of different label printers.   However since NI obsoleted the "Standard Format" in their reports, we are not able to print anymore to an Intermec 3440 printer.

Writing a driver to use IPL is not an option because we are also going to be using this VI to send commands to other printers in remote locations. 

I have tried unsuccessfully to print in Word, Excel, an HTML.

Any suggestions?

Hi LaserProcessGuy,

There is another forum post about alternatives for printing the Standard Report format, particularly for label makers, that might be of interest to you:

The gist of it seems that you can create a VI whose front panel looks like what you want your label sticker to look like, then take an image of the front panel of the VI and print it as an image.
