Hello, I am working on a project for a children's museum and am creating a game with PowerPoint where the kids have to answer questions correctly to get to the next slide to finish a story. at the end i would like the kids to receive a sticker as a reward. can i add a button at the end of the presentation the kids could press that would cause, say a label printer, to print a sticker. Could this be done with a macro? If it is possible I may be able to get someone in our IT department to help with that.



This will be done with a tablet running PowerPoint 2010 and connected to a Brother QL 700 label printer via USB. This will all be built into a kiosk.

Thank you for your help and suggestions

This might get you started. Prints the current slide to the default printer

Sub printme()
Dim curr As Long
curr = SlideShowWindows(1).View.CurrentShowPosition
With ActivePresentation.PrintOptions
.RangeType = ppPrintSlideRange
.OutputType = ppPrintOutputSlides
.Ranges.ClearAll
.Ranges.Add Start:=curr, End:=curr
End With
ActivePresentation.PrintOut
End Sub

thanks for the help, that should get me going in the right direction

that works, now all in need to do if figure out how to make it print a specific picture saved on the computer instead of the current slide.

Would it work if the code created a slide with just that picture full slide size and then printed that slide only (maybe then deleting it)??
