Any chance this code is available to the public. :-)

It's not so much the printing or sending to the printer, but the
preparing and presenting the data on the packing slip or mailing
labels. Is there a module or similiar to get the particular data for
an order out of IC. Speciaifcally, when viewing an Order a button or
something saying "Click here to Print Packing Slips and Label". Maybe
something that could expect a certain type of label or packing slip
format. I realize this is difficult to do in HTML because you do not
have exact control over placement of text on an HTML page.
I am just wondering what others do. How do people get an order from the
IC administration screen to a sealed box ready to be shipped?
Thanks,
Michael
