    I have a request from our Material Dept.  "Looking to see if an IPA flow can be created that upon receipt of a patient chargeable item on a line in a PO, if a print file can be sent to the Zebra printer to automatically print the yellow charge sticker. Receipt can be done on a MSCM handheld or on the PO30"   

    We currently have the Gen_PORecieve trigger on and filter for tissue items that are received, so I know I can trigger a work unit and I can query to see if it is a charable item, etc...  BUT I've never tried to send anything to a printer?  suggestions?

    Currently, they have to manually run a crystal report, type in the item number and print however many labels they need.

      You could drop the file in a shared folder (using ftp or fileaccess node) and have a bat file or some script running in the background to detect the new file and send it to a printer
