Printing to Wirless Zebra QL 220 Printer via IP Address

[UncleCake]

Hi,

I am pretty new to vb.net, but I have used VB6 for the last few years. I am trying to print to a wireless (WHFI) Zebra QL 220 printer from a Symbol wireless scanner (MC9060). I don't know if that is relevant, but I think that I can do most of it, but I can't figure out how to print to the printer by the IP address. I have the following code, which would print to a printer on the network, but it won't work with an IP.

prnDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "\\Shipping"

Is there something different that I need to use to print to the IP?

That actually works? i thought you had to have the fully qualified name, which would require a server name and an object name like \\shipping\printer

As far as printing to an ip address, I haven't done it in a LONG time, so my memory may be failing, but I just put int \\192.168.1.???\printer and it worked.

If that doesn't work, you could always set up a DNS or WINS entry so that your server will resolve the ip address for you.

Depending on which OS you're running, you might need to set up a IP port, or a LPR/LPD port to print to an IP address.

Are you sending raw ZPL to the printer?
