Label Printing

[Agnalda da Graça]

Hi

Does anyone know how can I print ´card´ labels with patient´s demographic data?

[Tobin Greensweig]

It's a hacky solution, but could design an HTML that pulls patient demographics with the <lookup> tag.  It will take some clever CSS to get it to print properly but it can be done...

To make Tobin's suggestion a little easier you could use the Jasper report module and output to HTML.  Using jasper gives you a nice report designer and the layout control you'd likely want for something like that. We're doing that to print HTML to a thermal receipt printer and it works quite well.

Thank you guys. I´ll work on that. Do you use any module for print? I´m trying the Printing module.

Hi.  The rwanda primary care registration module's barcode printing functionality was written for label printers that can accept EPL instructions.  It isn't a very customizable module outside of rwanda -- printing labels is a very small part of the workflow contained in the module.

Tobin, I´m trying your idea as 1st trial.
I have my HTML form with the demographics and I´m using the Printing Module, but the printing is coming out wit all the page information.
Do you guys have any knowledge on how to print only the form?

I use a jquery script that I found online somewhere to just print the div.htmlform. Here is a copy of it: http://pastebin.com/y5Se7UtJ

So you can see how we implement everything here's a sort of template that we use on all of our forms: http://pastebin.com/yPb256Ex

We've found that the forms print much more elegantly if you're in 'view mode' so usually we submit, then re-open and print.

Let me know if you have any questions!

One question...
I have to include jQuery library into OpenMRS first right?

[Tobin Greensweig]

All I had to do was put that script into the proper directory of the OpenMRS server then it all just magically worked...

[Agnalda da Graça]

Is it in the root directory of OpenMRS folder or a specif directory?

Hi Agnalda,

Here is the wiki page that explains where to put module resource: https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Module+Resources

Thank you for your help but I already had explored that option and it didn´t work. But I found another way to do this.

Thanks Tobin it´s done

[Tobin Greensweig]

Cool! Sorry I'm working in the hospital now or I would have checked my server :)

Let me know if you have any more trouble!
