Hello,

I have spent quite a bit of time trying to figure this out, but so far no luck.

Does anyone print to a Dymo printer? If so, how did you set it up so that when you click on "Labels For Selected" from the Order Admin area, you get the label to be generated for the correct size label?

It seems that I am always getting my labels generated for a large size page so that for each label I print, it is coming out spread out over about 6-8 labels.

I have already gone in and edited the code on the order_label_print.tpl but while that did change some things, it did not seem to correct the overall issue.

I will paste the code I have in this file below - Thanks for any help you can provide.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<table border="0" style="width:10cm;height:5.9cm;font-size:18px;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:150%;">
  <tr valign="top">
	<td width="22%">To: </td>
	<td>
		{$order.tracking}
		{$customer.firstname}
		{$customer.lastname}
		

		{$customer.s_address}
		{$customer.s_address_2}
		

		{$customer.s_city},
		{$customer.s_state_text}
		{$customer.s_zipcode}
{if $customer.s_country_text|lower neq "united states" and $customer.s_country_text|lower neq "usa" and $customer.s_country_text|lower neq "us"}
		

		{$customer.s_country_text}

Moving this to template editing, as you will need to edit the label template.

thanks for the tip - i have altered my profile and read through the forum rules.

The thing is, i have already edited the template file but when i generate the label, it is still being sized incorrectly.

I have altered my earlier post so as to include my code so that may help all of you see what the problem is.

thanks.

I am interested in this too.

Anybody doing this successfully without resorting to cut and paste into the DYMO software?

In another thread here it is mentioned that DYMO has an SDK that would allow a developer to make a way to print to the label printer directly from a browser. I am not that smart
