PHP to Zebra Printer | 易学教程

问题

I have this Zebra ZM400 Printer connected to the network (192.168.1.50). And I am trying to push a content to this printer directly from PHP.

This is the idea and I am just stuck without any way to do this. I tried the file_put_contents('192.168.1.50', $content) but with no success.

Would appreciate if anyone could please help me in sorting out this. Thank you :-)

Solution:

I printed using the LPR Protocol. No need to install driver or anything. The LPR Printing Class for PHP 5 can be downloaded from here:

http://www.phpclasses.org/package/2540-PHP-Abstraction-for-printing-documents.html

回答1:

I'm pretty sure just pushing text content over a socket will not work at all.

You will need to print over lpr is my guess. Install a print server like CUPS and you can send it using that...

I had a similar issue where I was using a java program to print to a zebra printer without a print driver, and wanted to recreate this using PHP. It was bugging me that I couldn't find the answer. Through some packet capturing with Wireshark comparing the two, I felt that it was possible. I finally stumbled into the solution (at least for me). This will print a label to a networked Zebra printer directly from a PHP page without the need for a driver.

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

/* Get the port for the service. */
$port = "9100";

/* Get the IP address for the target host. */
$host = "172.17.144.89";

/* construct the label */
$mrn = "123456";
$registration_date = "03/13/2013";
$dob = "06/06/1976";
$gender = "M";
$nursing_station = "ED";
$room = "ED01";
$bed = "07";
$lastname = "Lastname";
$firstname = "Firstname";
$visit_id = "12345678";

$label = "q424\nN\n";
$label .= "A10,16,0,3,1,1,N,\"MR# " . $mrn . " ";
$label .= $registration_date . "\"\n";
$label .= "B10,43,0,3,2,4,50,N,\"" . $mrn . "\"\n";
$label .= "A235,63,0,3,1,1,N,\" ";
$label .= $dob . " ";
$label .= $gender . "\"\n";
$label .= "A265,85,0,3,1,1,N,\" ";
$label .= $nursing_station . " ";
$label .= $room . "-";
$label .= $bed . "\"\n";
$label .= "A10,108,0,3,1,1,N,\"";
$label .= $lastname . ",";
$label .= $firstname;
$label .= "\"\n";
$label .= "A10,135,0,3,1,1,N,\" #" . $visit_id . "\"\n";
$label .= "B10,162,0,3,2,4,50,N,\"" . $visit_id . "\"\n";
$label .= "P1\n";

$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
if ($socket === false) {
    echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " . socket_strerror(socket_last_error    ()) . "\n";
} else {
    echo "OK.\n";
}

echo "Attempting to connect to '$host' on port '$port'...";
$result = socket_connect($socket, $host, $port);
if ($result === false) {
    echo "socket_connect() failed.\nReason: ($result) " . socket_strerror    (socket_last_error($socket)) . "\n";
} else {
    echo "OK.\n";
}

socket_write($socket, $label, strlen($label));
socket_close($socket);

?>

I see you've gotten solutions using LPR and FTP, but I'm almost certain the Zebra printers will accept raw ZPL text on port 9100.

回答4:

Later?...

If you have access to the serial port:

LINUX:


 $fpi = fopen('/dev/ttyS0', 'r+');


$comando = "
N
Q70
A40,20,0,2,1,0,N,\"xxx\"
B40,40,0,1,2,6,100,N,\"$don\"
A40,145,0,3,1,0,N,\"N.- $don \"
A40,165,0,2,1,0,N,\"ccc\"
A0,198,7,1,1,0,N,\"$fecha\"
A19,198,7,1,1,0,N,\"fasdfas\"
P
";
fwrite($fpi, $comando);

fclose($fpi);

THIS WORK FINE

回答5:

I have created a file in zebra language and used FTP to send the file many times in the past. just save the file and then create an ftp connection to the printer then use the put command to send the .txt file. the printer will do the rest

回答6:

There is sample code on how to send ZPL directly to Zebra printers at:

https://km.zebra.com/kb/index?page=content&channel=SAMPLE_CODE&cat=ZISV_PL_ZPL

I didn't see any in PHP, but there is an example of talking directly to the printer via port 9100 using VB.

This is how to print on a Zebra Printer connected to the network: Assuming your printer is at IP: 192.168.1.50 and standard port : 9100

<?php 
if(($conn = fsockopen('192.168.1.50',9100,$errno,$errstr))===false){ 
    echo 'Connection Failed' . $errno . $errstr; 
} 

$data = ' 
    ^XA 
    ^FT50,200 
    ^A0N,200,200^FDTEST^FS 
    ^FT50,500 
    ^A0N,200,200^FDZebra Printer^FS 
    ^XZ'; 

#send request 
$fput = fputs($conn, $data, strlen($data)); 

#close the connection 
fclose($conn); 
?>

This is working 100% on any ZPL compatible printer, not only Zebra. In this Example we print a label with a big TEST ZEBRA PRINTER in it

Take a look at these PHP printer functions

Note that

These functions are only available under Windows 9.x, ME, NT4 and 2000.
