Hi Dig,

I believe the issue might be because you are trying to print a PDF document. Zebra printers are unable to print PDFs directly. The simplest way to print a PDF is to convert it to a PNG image and print that.

Hi Samantha,
Thanks for your comment.
I am unable to print PDF using my java program but why it is allowing the PDF print manually using Adobe Reader ? Can you please explain
