How to get print on DymoLabel printer using javascript?

I just want to call the printer API from a web page. and I just want to print some things in it. I have done it so far.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Sample DYMO Label Plug-In</title> <script src="http://labelwriter.com/software/dls/sdk/js/DYMO.Label.Framework.latest.js" type="text/javascript" charset="UTF-8"> function OnLoad() { //GetCurrentPlugin(); GetDYMOPrinters(); //GetPaperTray(); //GetMRUList(); //GetObjectNames(); //GetLabelImage(); } function GetDYMOPrinters() { alert(" Testing 1"); var printers = dymo.label.framework.getPrinters(); if (printers.length == 0) throw "No DYMO printers are installed. Install DYMO printers."; alert("dfdsfd"); var printerName = ""; for (var i = 0; i < printers.length; ++i) { var printer = printers[i]; if (printer.printerType == "LabelWriterPrinter") { printerName = printer.name; break; } } var label = DYMO.Label.Framework.Label.Open("MyText.label"); label.SetObjectText("NameTxt", "John Smith"); alert(" Testing 2"); // Here this alert also not working . label.print("DYMO LabelWriter 310"); } </script> </head> <body onload="OnLoad()"> <form action="" method="post" id="DYMOLabel"> <center> <h2>DYMO Label Example</h2> <input type=button value="Get DYMO Printers" onClick="GetDYMOPrinters()"> </center> </form> </body> </html>

But nothing will happen here, I need to import or include something. please give some suggestion ..

Your <script> -Tag to insert "DYMO.Label.Framework.latest.js" is inside another script tag. Move it and your functions should work:

Here is my code for printing multiple labels. I have added comments for your help. Please go through this, and if in doubt, ask me. I cannot include my HTML for your reference here.
