Отправка необработанного текста на принтер через usb

Используя Zebra .Net SDK, вы можете вызвать следующую функцию: Метод PrinterUtil.SendContents (String, String)

Где первая строка - это ZPL для отправки, а вторая строка - это строка подключения к принтеру. Более подробную информацию можно найти здесь: http://techdocs.zebra.com/link-os/2-14/pc_net/
