Zebra Printing with CUPS no print ZPL or EPL

Question

I have a Zebra GK420d connect to OS X via CUPS. However, when I send files to it that are written in ZPL or EPL they are only printed in plain text. Am I required to change to mode on the printer?

Accepted Answer

Contrary to what others said, you don't need to specially add a raw queue.

Instead, you can submit raw files into any queue using `-o raw` switch:

```
lpr -P CupsPrinterName -o raw path/to/label.zpl
```

Printer name can be found over that link in CUPS:

```
http://localhost:631/printers/
```

This also works on other platforms that use CUPS, like Linux.
