Printing FedEx Label

   To whom it may concern:

When we decided to use your service for our new website, your company claimed compatibility for Thermal Label Printing for UPS and FedEx shipping. After integrating your package into our website, we have found that this is not true. 

We absolutely need thermal label printing capability, just like everyone else on this forum. What is the status of supporting the thermal label printing?

	Hi there, On the subject of label printing i would have to admit i never really had much luck with my label printer as i ended up wasting all my time just trying to get it to work. Lately i have been using a british labels company for all my label printing needs as it saves me a lot of hassle. I can't say i really know the best solution to your problem unfortunately, however i do know that this british labels company also do many types of label printing services and they sell plain and laser labels. If you are at all interested then it may be worth taking a look at their site as they may be able to help you if you are still having problems.

	http://www.ups.com/shipping/us/en/uis_prototype5.html I was just notified of the changes to UPS online shipping format which allows for the UPS Thermal label printer to be used. Does the API match the online version? Will it be updated for 2008 also? Seems like this might make life easier for the developers...

	Cindy, thanks for your feedback. We hear your pain. We'll review the project again with the development team and see what we can do. We'll get back to you via this forum thread soon.

	Please add this functionality for both UPS and FedEx if possible, the 8 1/2 X 11 format just will not work for our shipping department and the printer set up we have. This mod will save us loads of time and effort exporting and importing information from Worldship and FedEx shipping software. I really want to use the shipping from PC but will not be able to use laser labels, pouches etc. We ship over 400 boxes a day! Thank you

	Just as a slight aside to this, is anyone here from the UK and using FedEx UK, the old ANc company? and if so are you using any integration with productcart?

	Unfortunately there was a page on our Web site that reported this incorrectly. We apologize for the incorrect information. Unfortunately there are some technical difficulties that have prevented us from being able to print to a thermal printer so far. The way to go at this point remains to print to a regular printer and insert the printed label in one of the free plastic pouches provided by FedEx or UPS.

	[QUOTE=Matt] Since FedEx labels reside on your server but need printed via your computer�s ports (e.g. parallel, USB, etc.) there are some security issues. [/QUOTE] Just a quick question.. It looks like this is possible using UPS but not FedEx? We use the same Thermal Printer (UPS supports it as well) and want to make sure that this will work with UPS to print the label to our Thermal Printer. It says on your product page that: Print shipping labels to your favorite printer (including UPS thermal printer) Is this statement true? Edited by legolas - 19-November-2007 at 4:44pm

	Since FedEx labels reside on your server but need printed via your computer�s ports (e.g. parallel, USB, etc.) there are some security issues. FedEx doesn't provide any "plug-in" so this is something we have to workaround. In other words, this is a substantial project and unfortunately it did make it into v3.1. We still plan to provide this feature, but I don�t have any ETA.

	Has Early Impact been able to work out with Fedex the ability to print to The Zebra Thermal Printer? It has been some time now and no word as to when this may happen....
