ZPL II Label printing

License: AGPL-3

This module extends the Report to printer (base_report_to_printer) module to add a ZPL II label printing feature.

This module is meant to be used as a base for module development, and does not provide a GUI on its own. See below for more details.

Installation

Nothing special, just install the module.

Configuration

To configure this module, you need to:

  1. Go to Settings > Printing > Labels > ZPL II
  2. Create new labels
  3. Import ZPL2 code
  4. Use the Test Mode tab during the creation

It’s also possible to add a label printing wizard on any model by creating a new ir.actions.act_window record. For example, to add the printing wizard on the product.product model

<act_window id="action_wizard_purchase"
  name="Print Label"
  src_model="product.product"
  res_model="wizard.print.record.label"
  view_mode="form"
  target="new"
  key2="client_action_multi"/>

Usage

To print a label, you need to call use the label printing method from anywhere (other modules, server actions, etc.).

Example : Print the label of a product

self.env['printing.label.zpl2'].browse(label_id).print_label(
    self.env['printing.printer'].browse(printer_id),
    self.env['product.product'].browse(product_id))

You can also use the generic label printing wizard, if added on some models.
