Does Zen cart have a mailing label printing function?

I looked and didn't see anything. Is there a module that can be added in order to print labels addressed to persons who ordered products?

Re: Does Zen cart have a mailing label printing function?

This is the only label I have found with zen cart integration. It is critical for my client as well to be able to print labels, so I hope someone who has solved this problem posts a reply for using standard labels.

I'm going to release a contrib that handles this probably later this month. Keep an eye on the downloads page.

Don't say yippee until I release it. This is turning into a lot more work than I thought it would be. :(

BTW, this is for the Dymo 400. I have it working with Win/IE. There are bugs in the Win/FF interface, and I don't know when I'll get to the Mac driver, so I'll probably just release it for Win/IE only at first.

OK, I validated it on XP and Vista, so I released it here:

I'll add Mac and Win/FF support in the future.

Re: Does Zen cart have a mailing label printing function?

An easier option may be to re-design the invoice or packing slip page, so that it repeats the delivery address lower down on the page. Then you could use the A4 sized paper with a sticker box on it and just print this off on a normal printer.
Something like this paper: http://www.integratedlabels.net/shop_showProduct.asp?global=1&productID=41916472&gclid=CJnNwrCBgJICFQ9QQgodOl4O-Q

Re: Does Zen cart have a mailing label printing function?

Thats what we did, duplicated and redesigned the packing slip as a pdf and added another button on the orders page, we redesigned as an invoice/packing slip using Burris Integrated Label forms with peel off labels. This allows us to print one page which includes both return address and shipping labels and the packing slip/invoice.

Since IE is what the large majority of accounting departments will be using (other than the french police) this should meet most larger store operations needs.

Re: Does Zen cart have a mailing label printing function?

I didn't realize France had a police force, based on videotapes of those riots. I guess I was misinformed.

Anyhow, I'm glad this meets your needs. Getting this XPComm to work in FF is a bear. Maybe I'll do the Mac one next when I get some spare time.

Re: Does Zen cart have a mailing label printing function?

Hi there,

I use to print my labels from home but i found it really hard work as my label printer was very temperamental so i would end up sending most my time just trying to get it to work. I decided that the DIY approach was not really the best thing for me and decided to use a british labels company instead, they made thing a lot easier for me.
