Printing from a constituent record to a label printer

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 actually use the “Constituents\Copy to Clipboard” feature to copy the address info from a constituent record, and then paste it into the Dymo Turbo 400 software, edit the address info as needed, and print the label.

    Hi there,

    We are going into our first season using Tessitura and I am very interested to hear if you were able to make this work for you.  We have a Brother Printer that printed individual labels directly from the previous software.  We use individual labels a lot for mailing out single tickets and exchanges.  I'd be interested in keeping this system, instead of writing out each individual's address.

    Any help you can give me (for example: what is yellow stamp?) would be apprecaited.

    Thanks!

    Isaac

    We were looking to click on the yellow stamp.  This would supply the address in proper form, but NOT in proper size to print on a label printer that prints individual labels (Dymo, Brother, etc).  Most of the mailing we do on a one off basis is putting a single label on a brochure, postcard or 10x13 envelope, which wouldn't fit in a traditional printer.  

    We were looking to see if anyone had resized the print screen that you receive when you click on the yellow stamp and if they had good luck printing this appropriate size screen/label to a dedicated label printer.  I guess the next question is, do you actually need to resize the screen/label, or has anyone had experience with printing the current size screen to a label printer (Dymo, Brother, etc). Trying to find this out before I purchase a label machine and find it doesn't work.  

    Hopefully this makes sense.

    Thanks

    John
