Hi, All
I have handheld "Intermec" Mobile 6.0 and remote printer (zebra type MZ 320)
I am using .NET 2005.
Please, any references how to print to this printer (printer doesn't have BT)
Please, help
 
Zebra's Web Site should have a Printer Driver/SDK to make it easier to send
the PCL to the serial or usb port. I think the general steps are: 1)
prepare the printer command string, 2) open the communication port, 3) send
the string to the port and watch the printer eat paper.

The other option is to use a third party driver that takes HTML and they
will convert that to PCL commands and also send it to the communication
port. Perhaps it's worth checking PrintBoy SDK - I was going to use that
but it turns out that it did not support my printer and had some bugs. That
was a year ago ... maybe it is better now.
 
Field Software's PrinterCE is the de facto standard printing library for
Windows CE...

Don't buy any drivers!!!
Just send CPCL to 9100 port on IP of printer (if you have a WiFi
connection). You can check this using Putty in RAW mode, just telnet to
9100 (default) port and paste to window CPCL code. Zebra also has few
communication command so you can check printer state, printed labels
counter etc..

Just use TcpClient, BinaryReader and BinaryWriter (or StreamReader and
StreamWriter)
