Just stared getting this error after updating to Zebra.Printer.SDK v2.15.2634 from 2.14.1989

C# sample code

   string conn = null;

   foreach (DiscoveredPrinterDriver zPrinter in UsbDiscoverer.GetZebraDriverPrinters())   {    conn = zPrinter.GetConnection().ToString();   }

   if ( Sys.PartNumberModel.CompanyName == "Hi")   {    PrinterUtil.SendContents(conn, "^XA");

Hello Bret,

Seems you are using a wrong method to print your label. As you can see in PrinterUtil Class​ usage example the SendContents is intended to store some data on printer as a file. It is not intended to be used to print ZPL content.
Instead of that, you need to use UsbConnection.Write​ method. Please, use code from TcpConnection Class as an example. You will need to use UsbConnection instead of TcpConnection. In a nutshell you will need to perform following steps:

1) UsbConnection conn = zPrinter.GetConnection();2) conn.Open();3) conn.Write(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("..your ZPL code goes here.."));
4) conn.Close();
Don't forget to use try-catch statements to handle possible exceptions.
Hope it help.

Hello Bret,

Could you pls to perform a check if it will work in case you will  join all your strings into one string and send this string to PrinterUtil.SendContents method in a single call?

In case it will continue suffering from issue then seems you'll need to submit your problem to Zebra Technical Support.
