Please excuse my ignorance if this question is very elementary, but I am new to generating barcodes and Zebra printers. Specifically Z4M, Z4M Plus, and a Z400.

In my previous post I was suggested to use the driver for the printer over the Generic Text drive in Windows so I could have multiple printers using the same driver.

Windows XP Generic Text Driver and Printer Name Bug

This solved my initial problem, but now I'm having issues getting the barcode to generate. I know Zebra's have their own markup language and can self generate a barcode, but since I switched to the printers driver, the markup language quit creating a barcode.

Is there a way to call the generate function with the printers driver, or do I need to create a barcode locally in my VB Web application, before sending to a printer?

Service and support for all of those printers were discontinued by 2020. Replacement suggestion is ZT411. See https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/printers/industrial/zm400.html. I replaced my old Zebra printers with GK420t and ZD421.

According to the ZPL language http://labelary.com/zpl.html a simple 1234 barcode can be sent using:

^XA
^FO 60, 120 ^BY 3 ^BC , 60, , , , A ^FD 1234ABC ^FS
^XZ
