The app ZPL Printer Management Base defines tables and pages, to declare zpl printers and zpl layouts. The user can define the zpl printer to use for a distinct layout & username combination (similar to the Printer Selection in Business Central).
Furthermore, this app defines functions to establish a connection with a specified printer, retrieve a specified zpl layout from the database, etc.
