How to utilize a printer (Zebra TLP 2844) in a Ruby on Rails project

I need use a printer (a Zebra TLP 2844) in my Ruby on Rails project.

Ideally, I need a way to have a local machine send a file, .EPL, or string to the printer for consumption.

How might I do this?

Solution

  • Your browser does not have direct access to a printer.

    I would solve as follows:

    Create a desktop application, which would be installed on the client computer.

    This app would make queries in a print queue (database, rest api). And print the labels.
