I purchased a Zebra LP 2844 label printer and would like to send ZPLII print jobs to it from a C++ program. I am able to connect to the printer and print test labels using the Zebra Setup Utilities software, but am unable to connect to it using a serial monitor. I tried using different serial monitors but all of them gave some sort of COM port error when I tried to connect.
Am I wrong in thinking that I can simply connect to the printer over the COM port and send the ASCII data to it?
Apparently, because the printer was installed as, well, a printer (lol), Windows wouldn’t let me open the COM port. After disassociating the printer in control panel from the COM port, I was able to open it!
