Copy to USB? Argox/Zebra

[sambomb]

Hello, I'm having trouble to generate the labels on printers Argox / Zebra when I try to to generate through USB.
To print via the parallel port I simply create the file and use a Copy to LPT1 and generates smoothly, which path should I follow in order to generate the labels through the USB?

Instead of copying the file to LPT1, did you try

Code: Select all  Expand view

PrintFileRaw(PrngetName(),cFileName, "PrintFileRaw FiveWin")

Lucas, thx for the reply but I already have the code done, justa have to change the print code.

Anserkk I'm trying something like it right now.

Kok, I can't make all my clients buy an especific piece of hardware because other programms do without it.

If you are using windows:
1. Bring up printer properties and Share printer.
2. Create batch file with the following contents.
net use lpt1 /delete
net use lpt1 \\%computername%\PRINTERSHARENAME /persistent:yes
rem replace PRINTERSHARENAME with the name you used.
3. Create link to batch file in startup folder.

Sometimes you may need to add the user to the local administrator group. This happens if there is a physical lpt1 and the user cannot redirect it.

Hi,

I have installed the Windows-printer-driver of the Zebra-printer and changed my program to print to a Windows-printer instead of copy to LPT1. Now it is just tghe same as a normaly print , only the paper-size is smaller...
Is't there a Windows-driver for that Zebra-printer?

Marc

Hi Kok,

Thanks for the reply, but for me it's working fine, I have a driver.
I asked sambomb that he have a driver for his printer.
