How i do this ? I tried to share the printer and add in the server, but not work...When i try to print, it seems that the printer is not found...I need to do more some thing ?

I googled it, and not found a good answer...

Answer 1

With communication between sockets. You send the barcode string to client in the socket. IN the client side, make a socket. This listen in un port, and receive the data, and put this in the serial port.

Answer 2

I bought a print server and this resolve my question. I connected the printer in Print Server and the Server of the system recognized this printer.

Answer 3

If you can save the receipt design as raw ZPL text, you should be able to open the file and send it to the printer via a telnet connection. That would let you print to any networked zebra printer without the need for driver installation on the server.

Answer 4

I usually save the EPL or ZPL to a file and then just do a 'copyfile' to the UNC path of the printer. If SharpZebra lets you save it as a file you might try that. It works nicely to just copy the raw file to the printer. (I havent used SharpZebra).
