timmyd Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 hi, whats the best way to print labels. I have already tried the script from fpdf.de but i can not get my dot matrix printer (dot matrix is needed for this purpose) the correct layout. Its continuous paper, with size 110 height x 62mm width (for each label). I am not able to select a self-adjustable paper-size. so i hope to solve this with PHP / PDF if possible. anyone have experience with this? cheerz!!

Mchl Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I suggest you use some other software (even OpenOffice will do) to create a PDF that prints correctly on your printer. Only then recreate the layout using FPDF/TCPDF/or any other PHP library. Should save you some time.

The content comes from MySQL, so its easy to create an PDF with FPDF and such. why would want to use another program?

Mchl Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Because I understood, that you're having the problem with layout that will be printed out correctly by your dot matrix printer. If it's not the problem, then what is? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/213639-print-a7-size-labels-with-pdf-file/#findComment-1112073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewJ Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I think Mchl is just saying to make one file with open office etc. that prints okay, then try and produce the same file layout wise using fpdf... Not to use the program to make all of the files.
