Sending an ZPL Label to a Zebra printer

Question

I want to send a text file containing ZPL to a Zebra GC420 printer. The ZPL Manual asks me to send it to the printer from the DOS command prompt, but doesn't say how. I can send through the parallel port using PRN, and it works. But I cannot print through USB, and I cannot print from any Windows version above XP.

I found a very simple solution, to share the printer on the network, and then copy the file to that printer. Unfortunately this is a non-solution as now anyone can print to this printer. Any way to stop that would be an answer to me. — Chinthaka Dassanayake

In the network printer, you can use the netcat (nc). It is available in Linux and in windows too.

netcat -N your.printer.ip 9100 <text_file_you_want

I checked it few minutes ago...
