a Print Dialog box, which allows printer properties to be modified; a Print Manager, which allows management of printers, such as adding and removing printers, through an Add Printer Wizard; a Job Viewer/Manager, which manages printer jobs, such as hold/release, cancel and move to another printer; a CUPS configuration module (integrated into KDE)
In 1998, Zebra Technologies merged with Eltron International, Inc. [5] In 2000, Comtec Information Systems was acquired by Zebra Technologies, [6] followed in 2003 by the acquisition of Atlantek, Inc., which was a manufacturer of photo ID printers.
A printing protocol is a protocol for communication between client devices (computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc.) and printers (or print servers).It allows clients to submit one or more print jobs to the printer or print server, and perform tasks such as querying the status of a printer, obtaining the status of print jobs, or cancelling individual print jobs.
Nowadays, the most common use of spooling is printing: documents formatted for printing are stored in a queue at the speed of the computer, then retrieved and printed at the speed of the printer. Multiple processes can write documents to the spool without waiting, and can then perform other tasks, while the "spooler" process operates the printer.
In computers, a printer driver or a print processor is a piece of software on a computer that converts the data to be printed to a format that a printer can understand. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model.
In computer networking, a print server, or printer server, is a type of server that connects printers to client computers over a network. [1] It accepts print jobs from the computers and sends the jobs to the appropriate printers, queuing the jobs locally to accommodate the fact that work may arrive more quickly than the printer can actually handle.
Products using the Internet Printing Protocol include Universal Print from Microsoft, [23] CUPS (which is part of Apple macOS and many BSD and Linux distributions and is the reference implementation for most versions of IPP [24]), Novell iPrint, and Microsoft Windows versions starting from MS Windows 2000.

Later, the Zebra BASIC Interpreter (ZBI) was integrated into printer software, which is seen as an advancement to ZPL II by the producer and is ANSI BASIC oriented. Primarily, it is intended to avoid a refactoring of code when changing the printer, if the old printer software was written by a label printer of a competitor.
