How to print to Zebra GK420d label printer using ZPL passthrough mode from internet explorer 9

internet-explorer-9zpl

Is there a way to print out a simple pass through ZPL command in IE9?

I use Windows 7 IE8 x86 with the latest Zdesigner driver (v2.6.63.12) but now preparing the tansition to IE9 and a very basic feature of my web app is failing.

The pass through set in the printer driver properties.

I have a static HTML file containing only the below 1 line:
${^XA^BY3^FO140,150^BCN,100,N,N,N,A^FDJVGL0632341422706201^FS^XZ}$

In IE8 i just click on print and it prints a nice barcode to my only/default bar code printer, but not in IE9.

Any help is much appreciated.

Zebra has recommended to change the passthrough strings to

%( )% instead of the default.

In some cases it is also wise to add to the beginning of individual ZPL lines "^FX " - being ^FX and a space, without the double quotes.

With these adjustments printing ZPL passthrough from IE9 using the Zdesigner driver is working.
