What did you mean with "CLS printer"? And are you going to develop a Windows desktop app or an ASP.NET one?

Start by reading the Command Language your printer support and then construct the labels based on your requirements and the language syntax. Once you have them, you can send those commands using this code http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322091/en-us[^]

The CLS700 seems to support Zebra ZPL emulation, so if you do not want to deal with ZPL syntax, then you could try this other resources:
