Print preview ZPL II commands using .NET WinForm before sending it to Zebra printer
I am working on a Java app that prints tickets to a Zebra printer.
The problem is that I am working remotely and don't have access to the Zebra printer (or any other printer actually).
I would like to know if there is a way to emulate the Zebra printer so that I can visualize the result of the print jobs generated by my app (to PDF, bitmap image etc.).
As I understand (I am fairly new to this) Zebra printers use ZPL commands.
Is there any software printer emulator for Windows (7) that accepts ZPL commands and outputs PDF/bitmap/... ?
Here is a link to software that Zebra created: ZebraDesigner. It does not actually visualize ZPL or take ZPL as input. But it can help you design your ticket and then export it to ZPL for further processing.
I wrote https://github.com/dpavlin/Printer-Zebra a few days ago which converts ZPL
~DG(download graphics) commands and converts it back to PBM image file.This is not full ZPL interpreter (since it only implements one command :-) but does work for cups generated ZPL files which is handy to find out if your printer output includes anti-aliased barcodes which are always bad...
Take a look at ZPLViewer - it works relatively well for rendering simple ZPL code but seems to fail on anything complex.
Best bet is just to purchase a printer. You can get a ZP-450 for $200. Get one with Ethernet ($100 more) and you can use the printer admin page to upload ZPL and render on-screen so you don't have to spew labels.
