Controlling Label Maker with PowerPoint

[hudsontucker13]

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

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)??
