Why can't you send plain text? The user is still prompted with the printer selection dialog (you can't control that anyway) - if the Label printer is selcted, it'll print whatever you send it (I've done it before...). You gotta know the Zebra printer language to have a shot at doing anything else. There's a manual out there (couldn't tell you where other than the Zebra site - good luck with that one :D). Then, it'd only be possible to do it in AIR, and, you'd basically send the string (which the printer breaks down and is able to print). I was never able to successfully do it. The way it works, you generate a "string" (we'll call it PTR for now since it's not really just a string). PTR has to be in the Zebra Language (or whatever it's called). You have to send the PTR to the port (printer, comm, etc) the printer is connected to. Technically, the printer should accept the string and know what to do from there. Theoretically, that's how it should work - if it actually does - you deserve a prize! :D I tried (in vain) for weeks to get it to work - before I settled on creating an Object that would print (in plain text) on my Zebra printer (and gave up on it).
