Re: Zebra Printers

["Jim Franz" <franz400@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

definitely use the ethernet connect (10/100).
This is the IBM Knowledge Base page for Zebra Printers - recommends a snmp 
definition (which is fine over ethernet). Suggest you read this page.
(my biggest problems swapping old zebra to new is if programs don't set the 
margins and the old printer has a diff margin than new)
(btw - i've not used the s4m..)
