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:
- Go to Settings > Printing > Labels > ZPL II
- Create new labels
- Import ZPL2 code
- 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.
Known issues / Roadmap
- Develop a «Designer» view in a separate module, to allow drawing labels with simple mouse clicks/drags
