[Broswer Print] finding printers via print server

Hi,
 
 
I am creating a Wordpress plugin to create barcodes for Zebra printers and some product management. I currently have it working perfectly via USB but when looking for the printers over a print server, the browser print program can only find the drivers on broadcast search not the printers. Are there any particular settings that need to be configured on the print server that I missed in the documentation?
 
Followed these instructions Browser Print Issues as well but this didn't seem to help as its not actually detecting the printers on Browser Print .
 
It does detect the printers in the Zebra setup utility via the print server however. Thus the reason why I am confused.
 
Any help on this issue would be great.
 
Thanks!

I am creating an app to create barcodes for Zebra printer ZSB-DP-14 and ZP 500. I currently have it working perfectly for the ZP 500 via USB but when looking for the printers over a print server, the browser print program can only find the drivers on broadcast search not the printers. Are there any particular settings that need to be configured on the print server that I missed in the documentation?

The Browser Print doesn't work with the ZSB-DP-14 printers. To work with the ZSB series printer, please use the ZSB mobile app, ZSB printer tool and ZSB portal.

If the Browser Print cannot discover the network printers, make sure the Browser Print host PC and the printers are on the same network. The multicast is not blocked by the network configuration. It's common that the multicast is blocked by default on WiFi networks for security reasons.
