Good evening. I am having issue with Zebra printers. I don’t know if it’s because I’m using a pi or it’s LPrint or if it’s zebra but both printers will print one label then fault and spit out the entire roll. When this happens I have to power cycle and go through the calibration routine. This is using the zpl driver. If I use the model specific driver it will only print one label and then give error about paper and this can only be resolved by opening lid and doing another label feed.

using cups works without issue but my end goal has always been to use iOS apps that can connect to a zebra printer via WiFi. None of the apps recognize cups but all of my apps seem to “see” a zebra printer via WiFi on LPrint. Which is why I would love to get LPrint working if possible. Can you recommend a setup guide for us pi users?

here’s the configurations I’ve tried.
RPI Zero 2 W
Both 32/64 bit w/o desktop
Installed via Snap

I’m happy to try whatever you need if I can be of help.

Thank you for the App, I’ve spent weeks trying to find an alternative to cups in my quest to use iOS labeling apps that can print to zpl via WiFi and was hoping LPrint would be a solution to my unfortunate quest in finding a zebra that plays nicely with the zlabel or 4barlabel app or any app for that matter to send a zpl to my printer.

Make sure you have the "tracking" setting correct - the default is "gap" which will look for a gap between labels.

This seems to be the same as #95
