Don't make it so complicated! First, read the user guide and see all the nice protocols and services that Zebra has put into that overly expensive print server. ;) (Check out the D-Link DP-301P+ for ~$60 if all you need is a web-maintainable Parallel-to-TCP/IP raw spooler)
Then, use the FTP service on the Zebra print server to transfer a local spool file over port 21. It'll print as soon as you send it. If you have a lot of labels being printed, you can have a phantom running that stays connected to the FTP service and transmits a local file spool. Make sure you send a keep-alive note of some kind periodically. Otherwise you may get kicked off for being idle. Or, you can connect and send on-demand like this(excuse the UV-izms I may be missing in the open/close calls): OPENPATH "C:\zebraprintjobs" TO ZEBRA ELSE CRT "CAN'T OPEN ZEBRA SPOOL" STOP END PRINTERIP="192.168.0.250" PATHTOJOB="C:\zebraprintjobs\" PRINTJOB="zebra":DATE():TIME():RND(100):".txt" ! FILL OUT LABELREC WITH LABEL SCRIPT WRITE LABELREC ON ZEBRA, PRINTJOB ! CMD = "ftp ":PRINTERIP DATA "put ":PATHTOJOB:PRINTJOB DATA "quit" EXECUTE CMD DELETE ZEBRA, PRINTJOB CLOSEPATH ZEBRA Of course, you really should stick some error checking code in there to make sure the connection and job send actually worked. :P Glen http://mvdevcentral.com http://picksource.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Barry Brevik > Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 5:29 PM > To: '[email protected]' > Subject: RE: [U2] [UV] send data to IP address? > > > >Does UV 9.6 have callhttp?
