This blog is beneficial for both developers and functional consultant. Who have development or testing task related to zebra printer but printer physically not available.
Google chrome has the Zebra printer emulator extension available, which require very simple steps to configure.
Open google and search “ZPL printer chrome app” and select very first link.
Click on Install, in screenshot it’s showing “launch app” because its already install.
After the installation complete, open emulator
On emulator “On” and “Off” button is used to enable and disable printer and Hamp button opens setting.
Now open printer settings. And note down Network Ip and Port.
Now we will configure emulator as printer.
Click start button on windows and search “Printer and Scanner” and open the setting
Now click on “Add a printer or scanner”, it will find all the printer available on your network.
We do not have emulator available over the network, so we will click on “The printer that I want isn’t availabale”.
Dialog box will open, now select “Add a printer or scanner with manual settings”
Now select printer port. Select “Create new port” and under the “type” select “Standard TCP Ip port”.
In Host Name or Ip Address field we will give Ip address that was on emulator settings, in my case that is 127.0.0.1
Press next, now this will take some time to scan setting.
Select “custom” and go to settings.
Verify port name and printer name.
Now select “Replace the current driver”. Click next
Under printer sharing select do not share this printer. Click Next
Give name to your printer.
Click Finish to complete setup.
Once Printer installation is complete on system. We will configure emulator on FinOps through document routing agent. (Go to this link if you don’t know how to install and configure document routing agent.)
After registration of printer gets complete, go to FinOps and
Navigate to Organization Administration -> Setup -> Network Printer
You will find printer that was selected from routing agent. Now select your printer and change value of “Active” column to “Yes”. This will enable the printer on FinOps.
Zebra printer is configured now try printer something from your FinOps.
