Dymo Label Printer

Dymo saves you time-o! This mod allows you to print the Ship To address from the invoice page on a Dymo LabelWriter 400. In version 1, only Windows Internet Explorer is supported; future versions will add more operating system and browser variants.

Happy labeling,
That Software Guy

Great Mod Idea!

I waould like to be able to use it with a different label (still on the 400) Is it just a matter of changing the label in the path??

Thanks

You might need to fiddle with ./admin/includes/javascript/dymo_ie.js.php

Would be great if you manage to add support for Firefox. I almost bought this label printer recently, but I didn't because it only supports IE and Microsoft Office (as far as I know).

If you have a mac, there is a separate mac client (it doesn't actually use address book).

Thanks for your reply, but no Mac here, just a PC + XP.

I am addicted to FireFox, and I have a quite severe IE fobia.

Highly recommend them, great printer and you will be amazed how often you use it!

Ok have been working on a Firefox version based on the above but having trouble with the Java not working... please see the following post if anyone can help it would be appreciated...

OK, I have tested a FF solution under Vista and it works. I will test under XP this weekend and write it up. There are a bunch of steps.

OK, version 1.1, which supports Win/Firefox is now available in the downloads area. There are a number of additional steps you need to follow to make it work; please read and follow the directions carefully. You will want to upgrade to Firefox 2.0 if you haven't done so already.

Hello

I have installed the software and updated the files, The directories are correct in the dymo_ie.js.php.

But I am still getting the "label not found", with the standard install from the CD supplied there does not seem to be an address file called

Address (30252 , 30320, 30572).LWL only

Address (99010).LWL

Please can you advise

Mike

I think I have sorted the problem

I changed the PHP file to point to the address (99010).LWL and it works

Thanks

Mike

Great. I'm going to update the help to talk about this at some point.

Hi mr. Scott Wilson,

I (and assuredly many many others) really appreciate all the information and modules you have contributed on Zen Cart, very helpful indeed!

I was trying to get your Dymo module to work, unfortunately the dymo.xpi does not seem to be compatible with FF 3.x. Any chance you will be upgrading the mod ?

Thanks a bunch!

BTW Click here to download an **updated **version of the Firefox extension.

It's on my list of things to do.

Okay... just to let you know... I got it working in FF 3.x

Edit invoice.php, go to line 48 (<head>) and add the following code on the next blank line:

<script language="javascript" type="text/JavaScript"><!--
function PrintBtnClicked(addr)
{
	try
	{
		DymoAddIn = new nsDymoAddIn();
		DymoLabels = new nsDymoLabels();
		if (DymoAddIn.Open('D:\\Mick\\MyDocuments\\ZandAmsterdam\\Dymo\\ZandAmsterdamEtiket.LWL'))
        	{
	        	DymoLabels.SetAddress(1, addr);
		        DymoAddIn.Print(1, true);
	        }
       	else
	        alert('Error: Label file Not Found!');
	}
	catch (err)
	{
		alert(err);
		return;
	}
}
//-->
</script>

Now comment out the 2 lines of code specifying the dymo javascript, like such:

// <script src="file:///d:/Mick/MyDocuments/ZandAmsterdam/Zen Cart/Mods/dymo_label_printer_1-1/dymo_1.1/dymo_ff.js">
// </script>

The only thing you need to do now is specify the correct local LWL file in the java script function PrintButtonClicked.

if (DymoAddIn.Open('C:\\Username\\MyDocuments\\Customer\\Dymo\\CustomerSpecificDymoTemplate.LWL'))

Done! To my amazement it worked in one go :D

So no more fiddling needed with the firefox configuration in order to permit local includes. Which doesn't work anyway in FF3.

Cheers!

Mick

If noticed there is a possibility of a bug:

PrintBtnClicked('Diana 't Hart \nBeersel..., 2631 CS\n?Noord-Holland, Netherlands')

Javascript will stop on the second quote (after Diana). I'm not very good with PHP (yet) but I found a function to escape only certain characters. So I tried this:

$label_addr = addcslashes($label_addr, '\107..\110');

\107 being the oct representation of a single quote.

But unfortunately that doesn't quite do the trick since it also escapes the newlines. Any help on this?

Thanks!

Mick

Thanks for posting your findings. I'll update the documentation and the code next month, and I'll take a look at your bug at that time.

Scott

omg. this is exactly what I'm looking for.

We use the dymo label printer to print our event tickets. I will see if I can get this to work for this...we just need name, item ordered and attributes ordered printed.

Is there any way to have this work with the batch print mod?
