Mark,

I hate using the remote output queue as well.

We are using a combination of network attached an emulated (IBM ACS). See the CRTDEVD below. The workstation customization object (WSCST) is required because we print TL Ashford produced labels on the same printers. My IFS ZPL data uses the carat character for zpl control. TLA (and some others) use the logical not. The workstation customization object ensures it switches back to the default (carat) after printing a TLA label.

I can't take credit.. someone else on this list provided this.

Greg,

Thanks. I just finished a test. It works very well!

How is your device configured, on the i? Network printer or remote
outq? Can you post your config? I'm using a remote outq, but would
prefer to switch to a native *LAN *DEVD, if possible.

Mark,

I just finished a project (Endicia/Stamps.com) where I'm doing exactly that. I use the PRTSTMF from Scott K. to send the files directly to the Zebra printers.

Aside from a CCSID blunder on my part, it works fantastic.

Subject: Sending a .zpl stream file to print

I have some .zpl (Zebra Print Language) stream files in the IFS. I
want to send them to a Zebra label printer.

1) What's the best way to get the contents to a spool?

2) Are there any *DEVD configuration gotchas (the printer is on the
local network)? I prefer a *DEVD vs. a remote outq.

TIA.
