Hi,
I am trying to find a way to print address labels from a web page. The page will either be ASP or ASP.NET. Is it possible to get enough control over the print layout to create consistent labels? The browser will be IE6 and the printer will be printing onto standard address labels that you buy for this sort of thing.
If it is possible, could someone please point me in the right direction, I am stumped.
Thanks,
Matt
well you'd want a print style sheet so you might as well read this article:

Next you'll want to use absolute positioning probably from the top left corner. You'll just need to work out the positioning of the labels on the paper, so print 'boxes' off and move them till you're lined up.Thanks Dave,
I'll give that a go.
