【问题描述】：

我正在尝试将 ZPL 命令发送到 Zebra ZT230 打印机。打印机和驱动程序已安装，打印机端口为“USB003”。 PC 通过 Zebra Printer Setup Utilities 或 ZebraDesign 与打印机完美通信。我尝试了以下代码：

Private Declare Function CreateFile Lib "kernel32.dll" (ByVal lpFileName As String, ByVal dwDesiredAccess As FileAccess, _
ByVal dwShareMode As UInteger, ByVal lpSecurityAttributes As IntPtr, ByVal dwCreationDisposition As FileMode, _
ByVal dwFlagsAndAttributes As UInteger, ByVal hTemplateFile As IntPtr) As System.Runtime.InteropServices.SafeHandle

    ' Command to be sent to the printer
    Dim command As String = "^XA^FO10,10,^AO,30,20^FDFDTesting^FS^FO10,30^BY3^BCN,100,Y,N,N^FDTesting^FS^XZ"
    ' Create a buffer with the command
    Dim buffer() As Byte = New Byte((command.Length) - 1) 
    buffer = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(command)
    ' Use the CreateFile external func to connect to the LPT1 port
    Dim printer As System.Runtime.InteropServices.SafeHandle = CreateFile("USB003:", FileAccess.ReadWrite, 0, IntPtr.Zero, FileMode.Open, 0, IntPtr.Zero)
    ' Aqui verifico se a impressora � v�lida
    If (printer.IsInvalid = true) Then
        Return
    End If

    ' Open the filestream to the lpt1 port and send the command
    Dim lpt1 As FileStream = New FileStream(printer, FileAccess.ReadWrite)
    lpt1.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
    ' Close the FileStream connection
    lpt1.Close 

我在这一行得到一个错误： 昏暗打印机 As System.Runtime.InteropServices.SafeHandle = CreateFile("USB003:", FileAccess.ReadWrite, 0, IntPtr.Zero, FileMode.Open, 0, IntPtr.Zero)

错误信息和堆栈跟踪是：

无法封送“返回值”：返回的 SafeHandles 不能是抽象的。

在 PerfectPotatoInventory.vb.PotatoGlobals.CreateFile(String& lpFileName, FileAccess dwDesiredAccess, UInt32 dwShareMode, IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes, FileMode dwCreationDisposition, UInt32 dwFlagsAndAttributes, IntPtr hTemplateFile) 在 PerfectPotatoInventory.vb.PotatoGlobals.PrintLabelsTest() 在 C:\Potatoes\PerfectPotatoInventory.vb\PerfectPotatoInventory.vb\PotatoGlobals.vb:line 798

我正在使用带有目标 x86 和 .Net 3.5 的 VS2008 在 VB.net 中工作。

请指教我做错了什么。

End Class

然后在您的代码中，调用以下代码：

RAWPOSPrinter.SendStringToPrinter("<NAME OF PRINTER AS IT APPEARS IN DEVICES AND PRINTERS>", "<YOUR ZEBRA COMMAND STRING>")

【参考方案2】：

使用 Zebra .Net SDK，您可以调用以下函数： PrinterUtil.SendContents 方法（字符串，字符串）

第一个字符串是要发送的 ZPL，第二个字符串是打印机连接字符串。更多细节可以在这里找到： http://techdocs.zebra.com/link-os/2-14/pc_net/

【讨论】：

SDK是否兼容VS2008、x86和.Net 3.5？

由于我只需要发送 ZPL 字符串，我更喜欢基于发布的代码的简单方法。

强大的 Link-OS® 多平台软件开发套件支持在 PC、智能手机和平板电脑上创建应用程序，支持最流行的操作系统。 Link-OS SDK 使创建功能强大的应用程序变得简单直接。多平台 SDK 支持：Java、Objective C、VB、C# 和 .NET 适用于 ios 和 android Link-OS 打印机和 ZC 系列证卡打印机的 Xamarin 跨平台开发工具集

我的错误自述文件指出 Microsoft™ .NET Framework 4.7（或更高版本）

这就是我所害怕的。
