在网络上共享条码打印机

原来写过一篇C#打印条码与ZPL, 是打印到本地的打印机, 但是往往会需要程序使用远程的打印机进行打印,  其实基本上做法是一致的, 只是把命令发送到打印机的地方修改一下. 具体发送指令的代码微软已经提供了完整的范本: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322091, 其实只要看一个这篇文章, 基本上就不会有问题了, 不过为了防止以后链接失效, 还是演练一下吧:

在IP地址172.16.8.1 上安装一台打印机, 名为”Argox OS-214 Zip”, 并将其共享, 在开发机上打开\\172.16.8.1, 会看到共享的打印机, 右击—>然后open或connect, 都会自动安装此打印机的驱动到本地, 安装完成以后, 新建一个windows form application,  新增一个类, 然后删除这个新类的所有代码, 把以下代码复制过去:

        pUnmanagedBytes = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(nLength);

    {
        IntPtr pBytes;
        Int32 dwCount;
        // How many characters are in the string?
        dwCount = szString.Length;
        // Assume that the printer is expecting ANSI text, and then convert
        // the string to ANSI text.

        Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(pBytes);
        return true;
    }
}

 

然后在我们的form1上拖一个按钮, 双击此按钮进行点击事件, 贴入以下代码:

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
            sb.AppendLine("^XA ");
            sb.AppendLine("^FO30,30");
            sb.AppendLine("^FDHello World!^FS");
            sb.AppendLine("^XZ ");

            string printerName = @"\\172.16.8.1\Argox OS-214 Zip";
            RawPrinterHelper.SendStringToPrinter(printerName, sb.ToString());
        }

 

F5运行, 点击按钮, 会看到打印机已经打印了一个Hello world出来, 打完收工.
