I need to print bar codes with ofbiz. Can someone point me in the right direction? Is there an ofbiz consulting company that might be able to help me? I need to know objects to use, services to call, etc. It seems likely that someone has done this already with ofbiz.
What I had asked David about was a means to print barcodes on barcode printers using native Zebra EPL/2 control codes to a named print spool, not printing a barcode on a pdf. |||||||| Simple samples of what gets transmitted. https://support.zebra.com/cpws/docs/eltron/common/epl2_samp.htm |||||||| Here is a working code to print to Zebra printer that I found on a website. <quote> Printer name should contain keyword "zebra", printer could be local or on network. public void testZebra() { try { PrintService psZebra = null; String sPrinterName = null; PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null); for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++) { PrintServiceAttribute attr = services.getAttribute(PrinterName.class); sPrinterName = ((PrinterName)attr).getValue(); if (sPrinterName.toLowerCase().indexOf("zebra") >= 0) { psZebra = services; break; } } if (psZebra == null) { System.out.println("Zebra printer is not found."); return; } System.out.println("Found printer: " + sPrinterName); DocPrintJob job = psZebra.createPrintJob(); //String s = "^XA^FO5,40^BY3^B3,,30^FD123ABC^XZ"; // good String s = "^XA\n^FO5,40^BY3^B3,,\n30^FD123ABC\n^XZ"; // '\n' does not hurt byte[] by = s.getBytes(); DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.AUTOSENSE; // MIME type = "application/octet-stream", // print data representation class name = "[B" (byte array). Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(by, flavor, null); job.print(doc, null); } catch (PrintException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } // testZebra() </quote> |||||||| Does any of this ring a bell to anyone? Done anything like this in the past? Could any of this be used with ofBiz? -- Walter
