Zebra Epl2 Drivers For Mac

Hi Dears, I have a Zebra TLP 2844 Printer connected by USB to my computer. I want to send EPL Commands from Visual Basic.Net to the printer through the USB Port wich the printer is connected to.

USB is a Serial port but IT IS NOT COM PORT. So, I don't want the method of connecting the COM port with VB.Net.

I want a USB method or any helpfull idea or code. I searched the net for many days but no solution was found.

Briefly, I want to print to Zebra TLP 2844 from Vb.Net over USB port. Can you assist me? Are you sure?

99.99% of all such devices use a virtual serial port. USB is simply the connection mechanism. If you were to open such a virtual serial port using the built-in serial port object, the printer would have to be removed from the installed printers list, though the device drivers would still be used. None-the-less, if your printer is installed as as a Windows printer, then: Dick Dick Grier, MVP.

Author of Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to Serial Communications 4. See www.hardandsoftware.net. The only way to make a USB port work as a Virtual COM port is by using a driver furnished by the manufacturer.

Generally, you can tell if the driver that was installed for the printer is a Virtual COM port by looking at the details that are provided by Device Manager (Control Panel applet). Even ff it is a Virtual Serial port device, you still should (IMO) use it as a standard printer, not a serial device, and use the printer spooler APIs that I mentioned to send Raw data to it. All of this presumes that the manufacturer doesn't provide an API that is more appropriate. Dick Dick Grier, MVP.

Thanks man, But the question is how to make the USB port works as virtual COM port and emulates the WRITE function to COM Port? Do you have any component to use with VB.Net??
