Printer Question
-
Recently I've been tasked with needing to add the ability to and existing VB6 application print to a certain type of printer: http://global.dymo.com/enUS/Products/LabelWriter\_400\_Turbo.html Now, I am aware that I would need the specific driver for this printer, but however I am curious if this particular printer requires anything different for me to actually add it's functionality to the application I'm supporting. This isn't time critical, so no one is in a hurry. So I'm posting this as I'm looking stuff up to help answer my question. Thanks in advance.

No, not really. Windows abstracts printer functionality from your application. All you have to do is be able to handle smaller paper sizes properly.
