Hi..
I have a problem with Label printing.
We use Dymo LabelWriter (Turbo 330) to print labels.
Below is the sample code I used.
[b]This piece of code works well when I used the java version j2sdk1.4.2_10[/b]
[b]But when I used jdk1.5.0_14, there is a blank print.[/b]
[b]With jdk1.5.0_14, when I selected the printer option as Adobe PDF, Its
working fine.
But,I am facing problem when Dymo LabelWriter is selected as printer[/b].
Please help me to solve this.

public class DymoLabelPrinting{

vLabels.add("Mr.TIGERWOODS");
vLabels.add("H NO 2-7, AMEERPET");
vLabels.add("HYDERABAD");
vLabels.add("ANDHRA PRADESH,INDIA");
PrintLabels printLabels = new PrintLabels(vLabels);
printLabels.prepareLabels();
Thread labelPrintingThread=new Thread(printLabels);
labelPrintingThread.start();
}
