When calling the ZMotif job.GetPrinters function, when it returns, there are not printers and no error code.
This is true for the Demo application as well.

Hi,

Job.GetPrinters has reduced capacity to discover printers in the network, normally it is associated to smaller subnet domain, in these cases, the network should allow to discover devices connected (admin privileges), and  ZXP 7 printer shares same subnet with application.

We suggest to use another market option to discover printers in your network as it is a standard process that does not need to involve Zebra SDK. 

Some suggestions below:
