The java code works fine, we have similar code today printing to the zebra printers. Recently I have been exploring the Zebra API as well. I was able to easily install the jars into Ignition and do some printing with their native API. Its actually quite good. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/c/9cb3fed4d13d9e0faa0d9c4709e07d9fb36ddd26.png) I’ll be switching over our current code to use their library in the future. If your using a newer zebra printer with LinkOS, the API code is even simpler and gives you a ton of options including full bi-directional status info. I’d love to actually build a module around their API where the printers could be added as devices with tags for status and scripting functions for printing. But, with about 110% of my time consumed, that realistically won’t happen, but if some other module devs want to collaborate, let me know. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/printing-barcode-to-zebra-printer/8957)._
