What you need is a way to describe complex printing that is precise yet device independent. We happen to have such a thing. [Ad] Imagine describing your desired printout in HTML. But HTML won't let you be precise enough to get the text exactly right on the labels, it won't print barcodes, and it won't render consistently on different browsers and different printers. PWML addresses all that. Print Wizard Markup Language is our means of doing just what you describe. Rendering PWML is just part of what Print Wizard does. If you're using AccuTerm, you can passthroguh-print the PWML print job, then have AccuTerm fire off Print Wizard to render it on a specified printer. Peter already includes the scripts to do that. All you need is Print Wizard Personal Edition, which is $99. (You can even preview the labels, and tell it to start printing at a certain label, to avoid wasting a partial sheet.) Or, you can use AnzioWin, our terminal emulator, which has the Print Wizard engine built in. Passthrough print jobs will go straight to the printer (with optional preview). AnzioWin starts at $150. Demos are availble.
