Topic or Information Seeking a printer driver for UNIX or UNIX like (Linux, AIX) operating system Applies To Using Zebra Printers with Unix Operating System requiring a driver or needs to function connected to a Unix host. Details The purpose of the driver is to translate a known generic output language into the printer control language necessary to print the pages. Zebra does not directly support printer drivers in Unix environments but there are options available. Note: Software that will enable you to send an ASCII string or file out one of the host ports (Serial, Parallel and some others) can be used if that ASCII data is in the form of the printer's native command language. Depending on the model of the printer this will be Zebra Printer Language (ZPL), Eltron Printer Language (EPL), Comtec Printer Control Language (CPCL), or Kiosk Printer Language (KPL). In summary a driver would not be needed if you can directly send the printer the commands used to print the labels. Unix Printing Options 1. Zebra's Enterprise Connector Solution is an easy-to-implement way to print bar code labels directly from Oracle's BI Publisher. Read More>> For support of Zebra printers on other Unix or Unix-like environments here are a couple of suggestions that you may wish to explore... CUPS drivers are not created or supported by Zebra. However, the following guidance is available for Linux installation. Read More>>
The CUPS driver is also built directly into new versions of the MAC OS.
