'Cmon, are you seriously saying you don't have any old windows boxes lying around your organization? I can't speak for PrintWizard, but mvPDF will run happily on an old Win2000 box. Like PW it's written in Delphi, it is lightning-fast and offers a serious set of tools for document production, ranging from a full Basic API for real-time drawing and rendering (useful if you want to control layouts precisely) through document capture, merge forms with the usual support for barcodes, images and graphics, PCL import with Epson format barcode escapes.. document encryption and digital signing .. direct print output.. oh, and a fully featured banded report designer, page designer, report mining and graphical zone editing to allow you to reformat existing reports without redeveloping them... Which is way overkill if you just want to print barcodes <grin> And no, there are NO plans to run under Linux (even using Kylix or FreePascal). The printer architecture is just too weak and patchy (said in sorrow, I've been a fan of Linux since Slackware 2.0). You could possibly thoroughly test and warrant with a very limited number of printer models, but only Windows realistically gives you a sense of confidence across all printer manufacturers and types.
