Newbie at DDE needs help 1

Folks,

The good news is that my application ran at my first client site very well!

The client wants to be able to print labels. I have a DYMO LabelWriter 400 that comes with an unintelligable SDK.

My problem is that I can make the labeler "push" a label out (so my connection methods are ok), but I can't seem to get the text I want sent to the labeler. So in other words, the lable comes out blank.

Can someone give me the simplest code to print a label? Perhaps a "Hello World" example.

Thanks much,

Ortho

Hi Doc,

This

http://global.dymo.com/enUS/Products/LabelWriter_400.html

says " ...LabelWriter also prints from other programs through standard print drivers."

This suggests it can be just another Windows printer so have you tried printing to it from vb6 using stuff like;
Printer.Print "Hello World"
Printer.EndDoc
