RE: Printing Mailing Labels Advice Needed
Hi, Ben... I tried creating my own page with the approach you described as my first attempt at printing labels... couldn't get the things to line up properly. I finally went to Word to create the HTML for labels for me and decided to try to loop the entire page so as to not disrupt the alignment. I did get a solution worked up looping the entire 30-label page. I first setup a variable to control the row count used when the query loops the page: CFSET StartRow = 1 Then, I use CFOUTPUT Query= "Get_Addresses", Then just make each label like so (minus a lot of code): #Get_Addresses.First_Name[StartRow]#, etc. Second address uses: #Get_Addresses.First_Name[StartRow+1], etc. Then at the end of the 30-label page, I use: CFSET StartRow = StartRow + 30 and print labels 31 - 60. It's working fine so far... however, I'll probably go back at some point and see if I can get away with the method you described without breaking the printing alignment. Thanks for your response!

RE: Printing mailing labels in a browser -- Joy... :-O
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I managed something decent for an in-house only project. The labels were UPC stick-ons for inventory. Since the format of the label was fixed, all we needed to do was fill in the blanks with ColdFusion. I used MSWord to design the label, then exported it to RTF. The ColdFusion variables were dumped into the rich text to fill in the blanks. When the user clicks on the 'Print Labels' link, the RTF file opens up in the browser, but the MSWord plugin steps in to render the RTF. Everything is exactly positioned, so the user just hits Print in IE and MSWord does all the dirty work. Very nifty, but it requires that MS Word be installed on all clients. Failing that, PDF is probably your best bet, but that's a lot less programmer-friendly... Best regards, Zac Bedell Zachary S. Bedell, Chief Technology Officer, Adirondack Technologies, Inc.

I had the same challenge recently. Printing 4 up labels was not really too bad as long as the label was NOT completely filled edge to edge, you need a little buffer area.

I am currently talking with a company called Loftware who is in the process of developing this sort of capability via HTML from the web for Bar-Code Labels. I would think you could apply the same logic for mailing labels. We are talking to them in order to set up the labeling process for returning products.
