Development of a utility for providing Zebra printer ZPL code (105 SL)

Previewing ZPL II Commands Using .NET WinForm Before Sending to Zebra Printer

I am starting to develop a utility on .NET 4.0 for the Zebra Printer 105SL. Perhaps someone knows these devices.

I have a few questions:

  • I just started to learn ZPL code. Is there any Zebra printer code rendering utility (ZPL)? For example, input is a ZPL code, and output is a single label image.

  • Is there a library for rendering ZPL code? The input is the output of the ZPL code - this is some image.

  • Now I can print on a Zebra printer only if the Zebra printer is installed locally on the computer. So, the next step is to know only the IP addresses of the Zebra printer. The Zebra printer will not be installed on the computer on which the user will use my utility. I need to find a way to send data (print) to a Zebra printer by IP address.

I may have a lot of stupid questions, but thanks to everyone who can help me.

This is not exactly the same question, but this answer seems to be what you want?

As George said, this question is about sending ZPL to the printer.

There is no library for your second question for this. ZPL is a proprietary language, and Zebra does not offer libraries to turn ZPL into an image. However, there is a way to do something similar on the printer web page (available for some printers).

Click on the "Directory List" section on the printer, then click "Create New Script."

Here you can enter ZPL and then select “Preview Label”, and this should show you how the shortcut will look
