Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about buying my first arduino for a project I would like to do. I'm just not sure how I would go about it. I've experience with PHP programming but never wrote in C or anything like it.
This is my general idea.
I would like to hook a arduino up to a Zebra printer with a LPT port and write a .zpl config file to the printer.
Are there some libraries that can be used for this or do you have some other recommendations ?
C is sort of a precursor of PHP so you should be familiar quite fast
//except for the details of the libraries and the single thread concept maybe)
you might want to have a look at - need help to make universal print command - #12 by robtillaart - Programming Questions - Arduino Forum -
not finished but it almost works.

if the zebra printer is the later version of the eltron printer ( ie. .zpl files being same and backward compatible with .epl files ) then its easy to write the human readable ascii chars to the printer from simple print or string classes.
