CUPS Driver for iOS/Mac, UNIX or Linux

Zebra does not provide a driver for use on Linux/Unix or Mac OS X operating systems but instead suggests the use of the Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) driver. Examples are based on CUPS v 1.4.4. 

If the web interface is disabled, please use Terminal and run the instruction ‘cupsctl WebInterface=yes’ to enable the web interface and try again.
