Sometime back I had tried to connect other type of Zebra printer through USB, but it didn't workout.  I ended up using simple serial COM to communicate with printer ZPL commands.  


Useful links.

Here is a USB driver that works with Zebra printers. This code is posted "as is". The dll included in the ZIP should be copied to the folder "c:\ProgramData\Zebra Tools\Drivers". There is a known issue with this code if you are trying to communicate with more than one printer at the same time. There is a possibility of cross talk. This only occurs if the communications are at the same time. If communicating with a single printer, though multiple are connected, everything works fine.

 

I should add that the most efficient way to send labels to the printer is to use the native ZPL formatting language. This also makes data updates to the labels, such as serial number or other variabkle data, very easy using basic string functions.
