Zebra label printer

[SAM_24]

Hi,

We are using Interface/model script as dump plotter. It is working fine but we are not getting status correct in SAP application. I want to know is there any recommended model script?

Thanks.

We have a system with a number of these printers installed. As they're have IP addresses, they've been set up as network printers, using the rmodel interface script.

The dumb model script is all there is and of course, this applies only to the lp spooler. There is no status from the lp command other than the return code (a single number). SAP may be bypassing the spooler in which case you'll need SAP's help to define what 'status' actually means in HP-UX. This will be very dependent on the interface (serial, parallel, networkIP address, remote printer server, or...

We've had a bunch of problems with these printers where I am employed..

We just recently sent some 170 models back to Zebra, because we couldn't get the doggone things to work...

Even the print server that came with these printers would not work...

Hi,

we're also using zebra printers in combination with SAP. In HP-UX we're using the dumbplot model script for printer (not plotter) and in SAP the standard ASCIIPRI driver. No problems there.
We've had a similar problem with another label printer where the outputstatus in SAP was 'incorrect' but the actual print was OK. This was caused by a PrintControl that was sent by SAPScript to the printer and was unknown to the ASCIIPRI driver. This resulted in an errorlog for every printout.
Hope this helps a bit...
