Re: Zebra 110xi - as a print device

This is what I'm sending in the spool file (with ZPL control codes)
(this was written years ago by another pgmr)

It's plain text.  Just a normal spool file, 40 characters wide.

If I ftp it from my PC, the result is the same.  The data light flashes,
nothing prints, and ftp says it was sent successfully.

As Mr. Franz pointed out, I forgot the WSCST(QWPDEFAULT)
parm, might help, might not.

The Zebra is expecting plain vanilla ASCII ZPL scripts. So
maybe a stupid question, but you are sending it something
containing ZPL, not just an arbitrary spool file right? It'll
just ignore anything it doesn't understand as a label.

One thing you could try to make sure that the data you are
sending is ok is to send it the printer via FTP. Copy the
spool file to file on your pc, then do:
FTP the.printer.ip
{hit enter for user/pass prompts, nothing needs to be
entered} Put file_with_label Quit

If you still don't get a label, I'd really suspect your
sending it something broken in some way. If you don't get any
output, you could post a sample label and I'll see if one of
our printers will cooperate.
