Can anyone tell me an effective way to print label to my CS AdvantageLX (same as the Zebra, I believe) from Access or VB? I need to do this in the warehouse and can't get it right! Thanks, guys and gals.

I think what you have is a Cognitive Blaster Advantage, but I may be wrong. If so, it is NOT the same as a zebra...
Zebra and Cognitive printers can both use Generic/Text print drivers and a text based formatting language, but the languages are different. You need to figure out exactly what you have, then download the programmer's guide from the appropriate manufacturer.
Both Zebra & Cognitive also have their own Windows drivers that would allow you to print just like you would from any other printer - you would need to format the output, then call a print method. You could do this from Access' Report function for example.

Thanks, Glenn. I got as far as making a small report with a barcode on it that prints, but is procedded with a blank label. I really wish I could figure out how to send straight text to the printer the way RMS does. It's soooo much better!

Figure out exactly what printer you have and download the programmers guide for it. Then you just use VB or VBA to generate the proper text commands , set the printer up to use a Generic/Text driver and use a print function to send your text to the printer.
