Print plain numbers on a label printer (Brother, Dymo, etc.) from C # (.NET)

As part of a project I am working on, I need to automate a label printer. This will be one of those inexpensive Brother or Dymo USB printers (open to other offerings). All you have to do is print two numbers on one label.

The problem is I hope to keep it ultra-simple in C #. It looks like the brother's solution is outdated and the Dymo SDK is a little more complex than we would like. Both solutions require the end user to install a full blown application.

Do I need to suck it and use the low-level COM solution provided by Dymo? Or has someone found an easier way to print uncomplicated labels?

Install the shortcut as a printer on your computer.

Then use mail-merge from Excel to Word.



Create a table with rows representing labels and columns representing pieces of information on that label.

Use mail merge in MS Word using a spreadsheet as data.

DYMO now has a very convenient structure that can be used to create and print labels using templates or embedded in XML.
