Zebra Printer GK420d

I am having issues with my Zebra printer being found via USB in LabView. I also don't have much experience with LabView to begin with, so I need some help with a basic code that uses the printer connected to the computer and gives it a signal to print. It doesn't have to be super elaborate at the moment, but ideally I would like to have a working printer prior to adding things like auto updates for dates and such. If someone could help me please, I'd appreciate it. Eventually, I will need to incorporate it to the attached VI. The VI preforms a test, and then sends a signal to a light that goes green for a good part and red for a bad part. With the printer, I would like to print a label when the test executes and the part passes as good.

It is not an easy process, you need to find more setting process by yourself. 

 

First of all, you need to know ZPLII commands to generate a txt file, such as "test.txt"

 

 

Second, configure the computer to simulate a parallel (LPT) Printer with a USB Printer

 

How do I simulate a parallel (LPT) Printer with a USB Printer? - Super User

 

 

Then run System Exec.vi   and make "C:\>Copy test.txt lpt1" as the input.

 

you can also use bartender, codesoft or other softwares.
