Hey everyone,
I'm interested in printing single mailing labels to be used on packages and envelopes too big for a regular printer. Has anyone set up Tessitura to print directly to a shipping label printer like this one? http://www.amazon.com/Brother-QL-570-Professional-Label-Printer/dp/B000ZHEVZ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280237929&sr=8-2
I was thinking maybe a modification of the "postage stamp" report in the Constituent screen would do the trick, but maybe someone else has found a solution already? Let me know!

We were looking to do the same thing - did you ever go through with this plan/idea? Did you have success if you tried?
Thanks
John
Hi John,
I wish I could report back with success but I never went through with it. After reflecting on the work to customize the report to work with a special printer, then finding an elegant way to make it work quickly in the Tessitura interface and deciding which address to use, then considering the cost of the printer and label stock, I stopped pursuing the idea since our current solution (hand-addressing envelopes) works fine.
Let me know how you proceed!

Maybe I'm missing something regarding your specific needs... Have you tried using the yellow stamp button in the general tab on a constituent account? That generates a mailing label ready to print onto an envelope.
Hi Brian,
I personally was interested because I use 9x6 and 9x12 envelopes daily, and they don't fit through our printers.
Is there an output format in User Defined Output from a List that would print to those sizes? Maybe you could copy that report and add it to the Constituent Reports?
Are you only wanting to print for a single customer at a time?
