I've found yet an easier way to write to a Zebra printer over a COM port. I went to the Windows control panel and added a new printer. For the port, I chose COM1 (the port the printer was plugged in to). I used a 'Generic / Text Only' printer driver. I disabled the print spooler (a standard option in the printer preferences) as well as all advanced printing options. Now, I can just print any string to that printer and if the string contains ZPL, the printer renders the ZPL just fine! No need for special 'start sequences' or funky stuff like that.

Yay for simplicity! You can disable spooling on a per-printer basis, so turning off the spooler for this printer will not affect any other printer. 'Print any string' means that anything I send to the printer through any means will get treated by the printer as ZPL.

So if you send binary data (like a Word doc or a PDF), the Zebra printer will interpret it as garbage. If the print a text file and the text in that file contains valid ZPL statements, the printer will interpret the valid ZPL statements and render a label.

Next, start a document with having the pDatatype field of the structure set to 'RAW' - this tells the printer driver not to encode anything going to the printer, but to pass it along unchanged. Use StartPagePrinter to indicate the first page, WritePrinter to send the data to the printer, and close it with EndPagePrinter, EndDocPrinter and ClosePrinter when done. You can use COM, or P/Invoke from.Net, to open the Winspool.drv driver and send bytes directly to devices. But you don't want to do that; this typically works only for the one device on the one version of the one driver you test with, and breaks on everything else. Take this from long, painful, personal experience. What you want to do is get a barcode font or library that draws barcodes using plain old GDI or GDI+ commands; there's one for.Net. This works on all devices, even after Zebra changes the driver.

For your information to print barcodes with zebra doesnt require such solution since the Zebra ZPL language includes various types of barcodes. And so you give a code for the one you want and next the number or string to print. Its not that complex. But not all ZPL language is that clear, just as a warning its not documented properly this ZPL language, i had the docs once but still lots of margins for interpretation. (no wonder as they also sell software that writes only ZPL macro's, asking zebra for clarification is a no go to protect their products. Harry Turtledove Ebook Torrents For. – Mar 20 '13 at 18:20.
