Hi All, Does anyone use the ZD series of zebra printers? I tried to buy the GK series, but it seems to have been discontinued. The ZD series seems to be the successor to the GK series. I would like to know if the ZD series is compatible with Tulip. Please let me know if there are any other printers you recommend. Thanks, ---

As long as the printer accepts ZPL you’ll be fine. Not sure if 3rd party print servers will now work (didn’t last year) with Tulip. I had to order mine with Ethernet capability (RJ45 port on printer) instead of serial connection (you can make it work serially as well). I have printed to GK420d’s and ZT410’s on our network as well without issue. ---

@DewyWCI Thank you for the reply. I check if this printer supports ZPL. ---

@de-noguchi I run Zebra ZD420’s and they’ve been working great with Tulip… ---

@tomeyer By the way, which options did you add? I’m wondering if it’s Ethernet or Wifi. ---

I connect using a static IP and haven’t had any issues with that. I haven’t tried Wifi. ---
