What I had asked David about was a means to print barcodes on barcode
printers using native Zebra EPL/2 control codes to a named print spool,
not printing a barcode on a pdf.

Simple samples of what gets transmitted.

Here is a working code to print to Zebra printer that I found on a website.
<quote>
Printer name should contain keyword "zebra", printer could be local or on network.
public void testZebra() {
try {
PrintService psZebra = null;
String sPrinterName = null;
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {
PrintServiceAttribute attr = services.getAttribute(PrinterName.class);
sPrinterName = ((PrinterName)attr).getValue();
if (sPrinterName.toLowerCase().indexOf("zebra") >= 0) {
psZebra = services;
break;
}
}
if (psZebra == null) {
System.out.println("Zebra printer is not found.");
return;
}
System.out.println("Found printer: " + sPrinterName);
DocPrintJob job = psZebra.createPrintJob();
//String s = "^XA^FO5,40^BY3^B3,,30^FD123ABC^XZ"; // good
String s = "^XA\n^FO5,40^BY3^B3,,\n30^FD123ABC\n^XZ"; // '\n' does not hurt
byte[] by = s.getBytes();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.AUTOSENSE;
// MIME type = "application/octet-stream",
// print data representation class name = "[B" (byte array).
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(by, flavor, null);
job.print(doc, null);
} catch (PrintException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} // testZebra()

Does any of this ring a bell to anyone?
Done anything like this in the past?
Could any of this be used with ofBiz?
