Printing to a label printer - VB Express

I am working on a program that needs to print to a label printer. I need to print images and some text on the label. (by label I mean roll printers)

I am wondering what would be the best way of achieving what I want. My first thought is to create a form with all the items I want printing and then print the form. Is there a better way of doing what I need?

Also I have briefly looked at printing from VB Express and it looks like it is possible to choose page size etc. But does anyone know how it would work for a label printer?

Would it be a case of selecting the size and orientation of the printer paper and it should work?

normally a Label-Printer (like for example Zebra, Brother, Dymo) has special commands to perform such function.
I think, you should first refer to the technical documentation of the device to see what is possible and how it is possible ...

Hi.
Almost every printer label or thermical printer, has their own SDK to develop an application over several IDE.

Could you provide the brand of your printer?

Regards.
