About printConnected

PrintConnect is an exceptional, highly efficient piece of middleware designed for enterprise logistics and deployment.

PrintConnect is an exceptional, highly efficient piece of middleware designed for enterprise logistics and deployment. By abstracting away the complex world of printer discovery and protocol management into simple Android intents, it acts as a perfect bridge between field workforce apps and physical print hardware. It's a gold-standard free tool for developers operating inside a Zebra-heavy environment.

Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Reliable fallbacks and clear error notifications when local devices lose network connection.
  • Cloud compatibility lets management push template adjustments globally in real-time.
  • Cuts down Android development time by handling low-level Bluetooth/WLAN pairings natively.
Cons
  • Localization is limited; documentation is mostly available in English only.
  • Limited strictly to the Android OS platform
  • Interface is highly technical and designed exclusively for developers, not standard non-technical business end-users.

Features

Key features

WYSIWYG Template Designing

Supports layouts built in ZebraDesigner for Developers, turning raw visual data into production-ready printouts seamlessly.

Android Intent Messaging System

Allows external Android applications to easily hand over print tasks using standard system intents, drastically reducing custom code requirements.

Automated Printer Discovery & Pairing

Automatically handles finding and pairing with Zebra hardware using Bluetooth or WLAN, eliminating manual setup friction.

Additional features

ZPL Template Merging

Merges dynamic variable data passed from a custom business app with a pre-formatted Zebra Programming Language (ZPL) layout.

Cloud Storage Centralization

Connects directly with cloud storage services to let developers centrally deploy and update label/receipt templates across thousands of field devices.

Printer Ready-State Checking

Verifies the physical printer status right at the exact second of a print command, warning users via pop-ups if the hardware is offline or out of paper.

Line Print Passthrough Mode

Enables developers to bypass templates entirely and feed raw, unformatted text strings directly to a printhead.

Graphic Print Intention

Facilitates rendering and printing complex graphical files or custom corporate logos straight onto labels or receipts.

Automatic File List Refreshing

Instantly updates available local and cloud templates whenever the user accesses file views, removing slow manual syncing processes.

Foreground Service Management

Targets modern Android security standards by utilizing foreground services to guarantee print actions aren't killed by background OS optimization.
