Hi everyone,
I am using a Zebra ZXP Series 7 card printer to issue staff ID cards.
For this purpose, I have developed an application that not only manages the staff database but also handles card printing.
The process:
- The card design is based on an HTML template.
- The HTML is rendered in a WebView, and then sent to the printer using the code below.
The issue:
- Printing works perfectly for images.
- However, any text elements present in the HTML are not printed at all.
- This issue only occurs in this staff card program; when issuing student cards (using a different program, but the same printer and HTML/WebView workflow), everything prints as expected, including text.
My question:
Is there any parameter or configuration (either in the printer, the OS, or B4J) that could now be required to enable text printing?
Has anyone faced a similar issue with WebView printing or Zebra printers?
Code used for printing:
Additional info:
- The workflow and code are almost identical in both staff and student card programs.
- Only the staff card app is showing this text printing problem.
- The HTML preview in WebView looks correct (both text and images display).
- Tested with different fonts and simple HTML (no improvement).
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
