Hi Jon,
I'm hoping to deal with this by executing the code on the server,
converting the decoded digital TIF to PNG, and writing it to a file. 
Then it can be viewed in a browser and printed from there.  Can this
Zebra LP 2844 be printed to outside of perl?  It looks like both of
you are printing from within perl.  I should really have it working
from a browser so it's really simple.  Firefox lets you specify the
exact print command.  Do you know of any command-line tool or command
that might print to this Zebra?
