Do you have an updated version of the sample code on the link:
https://support.zebra.com/cpws/docs/zpl/zpl_elp_vbnet.htm
The following lines of code no longer work. The FileStream now needs a SaveFileHandle instead of
a the file handle created by the CreateFile (this is what is reported by VS2008.)
hPort = CreateFile(LPTPORT, GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE, SA, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0)
hPortP = New IntPtr(hPort) 'convert Integer to IntPtr
outFile = New FileStream(hPortP, FileAccess.Write, False) 'Create FileStream using Handle
I can not figure out how to correct the sample code in the link but it is exactly what I need to do. I need to write
the ZPL directly to the printer. We have a ZT230/USB and it is installed and working with ZebraDesigner. I just
need to learn how to send the ZPL from my VB.Net app. I would imagine this is a very common requirement, so any samples would
be greatly appreciated. I need to also mention that I must work in .Net version 2-3 due to other limitations in the application.
Thanks,
John

Can anyone have sample code for Printing zpl commands to print to zp550 via usb
Someone mentioned using the SDK. Is it compatible with VS2008, x86 and .Net 3.5?
This seems such an simple request and I would think Zebra would want to make it easy for developers to embed their printers in projects so why not a simple Hello World example?
