"Had jZebra implemented on Linux Server in 6 minutes. Everyone said printing from php was impossible... After I accepted the security message, it was plug and play! Works on new Firefox and IE." -Aaron Haight 

<input type=button onClick="print()" value="Print">
<applet name="jZebra" code="jzebra.PrintApplet.class" archive="./jzebra.jar" width="100" height="100">
      <param name="printer" value="zebra">
</applet>

<script>
      function print() {
         document.jZebra.append("A37,503,0,1,2,3,N,ABC WIDGET CO\n");
         document.jZebra.print();
      }
</script>

How It Works

  1. First, jZebra loads in your web browser as a Java applet (similar to a Flash or SilverLight object).
  2. Second, jZebra interfaces with browser interactively via JavaScript.
  3. Third, jZebra gains permission to use locally installed printers via digital signature prompt.
  4. Finally, jZebra spools directly to locally installed printers, allowing hundreds of print jobs to transfer seamlessly from web code to printer.
