The Zebra GK420d label printer is the best value in a basic desktop thermal printer and provides direct thermal printing at speeds up to 5 ips at a 203 dpi print density.
The GK420d supports both ZPL and EPL Zebra printer programming languages and a wide variety of interface and feature options. To install and set up your device use the drivers and configuration utility below.
The software downloads below are suitable for USB, Serial, Parallel and Ethernet connection options.
I can successfully install the drivers when i follow the tutorial, but there is one problem. The pagewidth and pageheight will be set to the default values of 7.62 and 5.08, as you can see in the screenshot ( ).
We received a reply to our ticket and the solution was to set a custom page size in the Zebra printer driver. Apparently there is a bug between some label printer drivers and Thinprint for this. After setting a custom page size, and setting it to the default in the Zebra driver, Thinprint started working fine.
We've done additional testing, and found that sometimes nothing will print at all from the VM, even though printing directly from the thin client to the printer works every time. Other printers continue to work fine within the VM, it's only affecting this single type of label printer. Tried updated drivers and to me it seems to be a ThinPrint issue or with the TP printer driver. It will spool to the printer in the VM, then quickly disappear and nothing will ever print. Nothing seems to show up in the Windows logs either.

We are use zebra gk240d thermal printer.
Can i control the printer with Arduino?
I want to send data to arduino and arduino connect to printer finally the printer print data
Is this possible?
I haven't come across any reports of anyone ever succeeding this goal with an arduino yet. Doesn't mean it can't be done....but no news of success yet. People have talked about working on software/hardware drivers for it. At the moment, as far as I know...no-one has ever mentioned that they reached the goal.
After you have downloaded the driver, double-click the downloaded file to start the installation process of your Zebra label printer GK420D. The installation wizard will guide you through the steps to install the driver on your computer. Then, start the program by checking the box "Run zebra setup utilities now" and clicking "Finish".
For MacOS, you will need to install CUPS since Zebra does not officially support MacOS as there are no drivers available. See this article for the steps. Note that this can be very complicated and highly technical. If possible, we recommend keeping things simple and using Windows for Zebra printing. Printing on MacOS will also have lower quality due to there not being any native drivers.
Understanding how to navigate common issues and their solutions is the initial crucial step to gk420d troubleshooting. Knowing which aspects of your Zebra printer to check and how to manage their settings can give you a significant edge in maintaining your device in the best possible condition.
