thanks for sharing the source code.
I tried but failed, my question is when my connection is 'driver' instead of 'usb', how can i check the printer's status.

I'm using a zebra 105sl, turns out it's connection is 'driver'.
so i just skipped checking the connection value.
when it came to checkPrinterStatus using selected_printer.sendThenRead, got a bigger problem the callback get an empty sting input. so the satatus check failed. when i skip the status check, it can print anyway. but i suppose status check is nessary.

hello,

Please, can you show how to use/implement the readOnInterval method ?

Thanks!

Hi,
I tried your code but got this error
An error occured while attempting to connect to your Zebra Printer. You may not have Zebra Browser Print installed, or it may not be running. Install Zebra Browser Print, or start the Zebra Browser Print Service, and try again.
I am using Zebra TLP 2844, OS Linux.

I tried with Zebra GC420t, it did not work. Please help me to get it done.

Hello. I would like to know how I can use BrowserPrint.js from my Reactjs application? I have not been able to integrate that library into my project. Do you have an example?
