Hey,
We've got a Zebra GK420t thermal printer at work - they don't produce a Mac driver, and the workaround is terrible (print resolution is dire, and is a known issue), so I've set up a Windows 10 PC to run as a print server.
Unfortunately, the printer still seems to be using the Mac driver to render the printouts, and as a result, it will happily print the file through the network via the Windows PC, but it looks awful. Any file directly printed to the Zebra printer from Windows 10 is pin sharp. I've tried disabling client-side rendering via the check box in the printer's settings, but on or off, it has no impact on the finished printout (it still looks rubbish).
As far as I can figure, I need to somehow force the setup to use the Windows 10 driver to render the file in all instances (i.e. file goes to windows 10, gets rendered on PC, then sent to printer, rather than gets rendered on Mac, gets sent to Windows 10, then sent to printer).
Any help appreciated!
