I've created labels in my database and when I print them on a label printer, I get a blank label in between my printed labels. I've checked the printer settings and properties and can't find anything. I've also checked the database properties and can't find anything. Is there something in the database that I'm missing?

View 4 Replies View RelatedGood morning,
I've created a pretty powerful Access Database that pulls information out of some ODBC tables we have on our local server. Of course, I created the database and all the forms and reports on my work computer here. But, when I was finished, I sent that entire database out to probably 20 or 30 people in the company. On a daily basis, they run the same program from their own computer and they like to print/export/etc. the reports that are produced. However, I don't understand why those reports print our on my personal printer (the printer is on the network). If they have a default printer at their site, why wouldn't it print there? Also, I haven't included any printing macros or VBA coding. I'm tired of having 30 or 40 sheets of paper print out on my printer daily. Any suggestions?
I am making labels to stick on containers that we're shipping out. Some shipments will have only 1 container and some will have more than 1.Can I have it repeat a label if there are more than 1 container for an order?
For example:
Shipment 1 has 3 containers. The label says "3 x DM" and it will make one label.
Can I set it somehow to print that label three times? What about adding incremental text, e.g. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3?
I have a lovely report that includes a small color photograph. I'm sending the report to print on my HP Color LaserJet, but it is printing in black and white.
I can't find anything in the Properties that specifies whether this prints in color or black & white.
How to print this in color?
I currently have a set of labels that works flawlessly - it has 2 columns and 20 rows. I have a form that I can select which label to start printing on so I use up a full sheet with no waste. [working labels attachment]
The labels I'm trying to print on now are 1.25" x 10", as seen HERE. Since I cannot rotate the whole report 90 degrees, I set up the labels to have one column with six rows instead of 6 columns with one row (landscape instead of portrait).
I copied the entire label printing process from the known working report. For my new set of labels, the label prints great if I have just one record, and/or I start at label #1. If I want to start at label #6, it just prints slightly lower on the page instead of at label #6 position (which is the bottom of the page). [label at #6 position attachment].
I have a small receiving inspection database that prints lables for each item received. However when they use the program on a different computer the lables do not print on the lable printer at that location.

I use ACCESS, but I do not know SQL. .
I have a non standard size report (for printing labels)
The report is just over 10cm wide and just over 15cm deep.
I have solved the blank pages caused by exceeding the width but I'm still getting a blank page when I move some data down. I am still within 15 cm but it's throwing me a blank page. Even if I extend the in design mode depth to say 20cm (ie the height in Detail) it's throwing a blank page (I can see this in print preview).
I initially set up the report (it's a long time ago so memory fades) using the label wizard setting up a label 4*6 inches (10.16 * 15.24 cms) and it is this i'm trying to tweak. Is there a property I'm missing somewhere?
I have to print address labels. 10 x 3.8 cm labels 2 per row 14 per page on an A4 paper. Pretty straightforward one should say. But no. I play around with the margins, column heights and widths, row and column spacing page size wasting time. Is there a hidden and not documented relationship between those elements? For example how is the column height and row spacing linked together? How is this normally done in a professional way?

I have set up a query and a report (using label wizard) so that I can print a label of the current record viewed in a form. This seems to work until I get to the actual printing stage.
The printer I am using is an Epson LQ-300, printing onto a continuous sheet of labels (Avery's I think. 1 across. Dimensions 1 7/16" x 4").
When I press print I get the following code at the beginning of the label:
@EJL 1284.4
@EJL followed by endless blank labels. From what I can find on the net this is a driver problem but not sure how to fix it.
Also, in the label preview, should it be showing the single label as a full page report with the label text stuck in the top left? I have a similar report to print multiple labels and this also shows each label on a separate page. Doesn't seem right to me. Am I doing something wrong in the wizard set-up?
Any advice on this is most welcome. Thanks.
Does anyone know if there is a way to setup a button on a form that when pressed, will print to a specific printer (that's not the default)? For example, I have one button on my form that prints 2 copies to the default printer, then I want the other button on the form to print on another department's printer.
Thanks!
I have an access POS application which prints receipt on a receipt printer. I do not have a specified length of the receipt as sales vary in the quantity of items . Does anyone know how I can code it so that the last text is the end of the report and the paper is cut off right there? And also the printer is connected to Parallel port so i want these print commands to go to this particular port...
I wonder whether this could be done with printer driver installed.......... If so how the page length of receipt template has to be set. the width is ofcourse limited to 3 inches but as I told u guys length is unkown.....and dont think stillwe can resolve printing to specific printer issue(having driver nstalled).
thanks

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have recently changed computers from a WindowsNT to and XP. When using the NT machine, I am able to print my Access report. However, when I hook up the XP machine and request a report from one specific database, I get the following message....this message also comes up if I try to open print preview or page setup.
"There was a problem retrieving printer information for this object. The object may have been sent to a printer that is unavailable."
I don't think it is a printer error as the error is occurring in this one database. I have successfully printed a test page and can open up other Access databases and print. I also tried converting the database to the 2002 format....but that did not make a difference either. There must be a setting in the database that is causing the error.....
Does anyone have any suggestions???
I am looking to set up a database where I have a table of records that correspond labels to product numbers. The product numbers may have anywhere from 1 to 30 labels that correspond to them, and I want the user to have a form where they search by a product number and then the labels that correspond to that product number are printed out on an Avery label.
Here is how the main data table will look: (everything is simply arbitrary to illustrate)
For example: If I type in "1111" into the form - the labels that print would be AA, AB, AC, AD, & AE
I know how to set up labels to print using forms, but the only way I can think of this working is by looking up the product number in the table, then copying the row of labels into another table (let's call it "labels to print") and pasting them in a column, then printing to the labels, and clearing the "labels to print" table for the next time.
Is this the correct route to go? If so, how do I go about looking up the product number in the main table and copy them to the "labels to print table".
Hello everyone! I'm trying to print a single label to a Zebra printer, but I have ran into a small problem. I'm using a checkbox to select the records and a query to catch the record I want printed as a label. I print the label and deselect the record I printed and all works fine. I print the next record and the previous record prints on top the current record. If I turn off the printer in between printing labels all works fine. Any help would be a great because I going to wear out the on/off button on my printer
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table that contains a lot of different information regarding to mailing.
There are columns for Name, Address, Address2, Address 3, City, State, Zip, Country, Base Name, etc.
Some units will only required parts of the above information. I'm using the Name as an identifier in the DB only and Address is the beginning of content that I want to use.
My issue stems out of the fact that the City, State, and Country are not always required but the Base Name, may be used in lieu of the City.
I was looking at making checkboxes next to each of the columns on the form on the field and then using those checkboxes somehow to create a report for Mailing Labels.
I'm just not sure how to set this up.
I need to try and create a simple form that a user enters data into and then hits a print button and the text they entered is printed in a particular way.
i.e. they type in someones name, job and company into 3 fields and then hit a print button and this then prints :
PERSONS NAME
JOB TITLE
COMPANY
We also need the print to be formatted a particular way but that is another issue

Iv got a form with various data on it. The data comes from a table.I wish to print the detils on my form onto a label (10cmx12cm) as it appears on my form. I understand the best way to do this is via a report. So, i have created my report from the same table that my form gets its data from. I have laid my report out (visually) in the style i wish to appear on my printed label. Then i have added a cmd button to my form, which carries out the 'print report' code. However, this code sends all the records in my table to the printer, where as i only want to print the current record. Any suggetsions?
This is my current print code behind the cmd button on my form:
Private Sub PrintLabel_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_PrintLabel_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "PalletLabel"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
Exit_PrintLabel_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_PrintLabel_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_PrintLabel_Click
End Sub
I am using a cartesian query to create multiple copies of a record to use for printing labels.
Here's my query that produces the cartesian result:
SELECT tblCount.CountID, tblDeliveryOrders.DeliveryOrderNum, CurrentCY.Deliveryorderlineitemnum, CurrentCY.Quant, CurrentCY.UOM1, tblContainerSizeCodes.SizeCode, tblContainerTypeCodes.TypeCode, CurrentCY.WasteDescription, tblEtidDodaac.EtidDodaac, CurrentCY.ETIDDocNum, CurrentCY.Pounds, tblEPAWasteCodes.[EPAWasteCodes(1B)]
[Code] ....
This works just fine in creating the desired result - EXCEPT I don't get all the records.
When I remove the 'cartesian table', and right join everything, then I get the correct results. If I keep everything as-is and reintroduce the cartesian table, then I get an error about there being an ambiguous outer join.
I was having trouble just setting each report with a particular print method - for some reason they just kept forgetting their individual settings and resorting to default on the machine.
This meant reports were printing on the wrong paper, or the wrong size paper, the wrong orientation and some times refusing to print if it couldn't find the paper (which is useful in runtime as it doesn't display error messages)
So I used Reports(rpt).printer properties (I forgot where I found this) to hard code the printer properties into each print command... this meant I had to use another function to insert the variables.
So all I had to do was say:
Code:
PrintMe("Invoice","InvoiceID",iID)
and a report would print to exactly how I wanted... but it's just too slow!
See attached for full code, I have a niggling feeling it may be the function: PrinterOK, to make sure the printer exists or not.
Code:
Function PrinterOK(sPrinterName As String) As Boolean
Dim MyPrinter As Printer
PrinterOK = False
For Each MyPrinter In Printers
If MyPrinter.DeviceName = sPrinterName Then
PrinterOK = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
I know it's the printing code, because if I stop the printing and just preview then it shows up almost instantly.
Ok, I've run into two serious problems in testing, and another question that I'm hoping you guys can
help me solve. Below my questions is the code used for making the search query/email program.
Problem #1: In testing, this search program only is working for me for new data. Any data that I had
in the database prior to implimenting the program will not move past the search stage. In other words, I
will do a search, it will find the emails and bring them up in a box, I hit "OK" and it gets hung up and won't move on
to opening up a new Email with the addresses implemented. However if I enter new data in the database, say with a weird
name so its only bringing up the new entry and no old entry, it works fine and opens up the new email.
Problem #2: Items I would like to search like check boxes. Say I have a check box "Donor", this is listed in the database
as a 1 or 0. I can't have my boss searching 1 or 0. Is there a way to change this to, say, being recorded in the DB
as a Yes or No. That way he would check to search "Donor" and type Yes in the search box and this would search the DB
"Donor" column for "Yes" and bring up the results.
New Question: My boss and I reviewed the form as it is so far yesterday. He was asking if I could add a Print Labels option
in there. I'm wondering instead of adding another seperate search box and all that mess for a labels search print, can I rather
add two check boxes, one labeled "Print Labels" and the other labeled "Email". What this would do is depending on the check box
you selected it would either run the search and email like we have it, or clicking the other check box would run the search and print
labels.

My workstation has a default printer that only prints A4, but I have an Access 2007 file with reports that require A3.
When I open these reports they see the A4 'default' printer.
If I try to change to the A3 printer in the report page setup (in design or print preview mode) it doesn't change - it keeps the default 'A4' and/or Access crashes.
If I change my workstation default printer to
The A3 printer and then open the Access file & report it works Ok (it picks up the A3 printer as default).
Can I use VBA to set the default printer and page setup to A3 when the report opens?
I have a database with a mail label printer and another printer attached to the computer. I would like the user to hit the command button for each of the printers and have the selected data printed without having to select which printer to use each time.
Note: Printer "set up" doesn't work, even when form is in design view, because after print is done, back to dialogue box when trying to print the next time.
I have a custom form setup for 1up 1.5inch labels on the print server. We are printing these on Okidata Printers using an Epson driver.
I want to know how you can find the specific printersize number value for a form called "1_5upLabels" which is a custom form.
I am not looking to do this manually in the page setup for the report but to programmatically so that it's dynamic.
Is there a way I can loop through the forms for this printer and check for the form name?
