ZPL language file (Zebra) use for print into Godex printer - printing

Goodmorning,
I have a ZPL file (text file inside) used for a Zebra printer, and I need to print that with a new Godex printer.
I have already installed the driver of the Godex printer and set the dimensions of the labels.
Is there any method to use the "ZPL code" to print into the Godex printer? I've read on Internet that they are compatible, but I can't find how I can use them togheter. Is any other driver necessary?
Thanks for help

Old topic but I have the answer: Yes, it is possible.
Install Godex printer as Generic Text Only printer in windows.
IMPORTANT: you have to "reset" the printer if you change paper size. Turn on the printer with its 2 buttons pressed (DT4x model) until you hear 3 beeps. Wait a bit. Then the printer "takes size" of the paper. You must do this when you change paper size or it won't print fine.
After that, open your ZPL file with a text editor and print it to that generic printer and that's all.
Regards.

How to show Japanese characters in Spyder iPython console?

I am using Conda Spyder GUI via bash on Ubuntu on Windows to access a database that contains Japanese character fields. At first, when I output that data to the iPython console I could only see boxes as stand-ins for the characters.
Then I installed some additional Japanese fonts, and one of them "mikachan" appeared in the list of rich text fonts and Spyder started using it for Japanese characters in the editor and console.
I installed even more Japanese fonts, and some more of them showed up in the rich text font list, but selecting them has no effect on the font being used in the editor and console. Even though some are monospace fonts, they do not show up in the list of plain text fonts.
I thought the option to choose which font is used for Japanese characters would be in the Spyder preferences, but it's actually not. (They are being rendered, but not in a font of my choosing.)
How do I change the Japanese character font used in Spyder's iPython console?
(note: Spyder from WinPython on Windows does not have this problem, so it might be something specific to Anaconda or Ubuntu.)

How to change codepage of files to make it usable on IBM/Toshiba 4690 OS?

I've files with various languages. Tried Notepad ++ and cpconverter but they didnt help as some codepages like codepage 942 or codepage 1381 are not available.

C++ Builder Language Font is Broken?

I'm using C++ Builder 2010 and for some odd reason today when I opened my project all the non english font(aka korean font) turned into a box and when I try to retype them it still comes out as a box. I was wonder if anyone knows how to fix this
The box indicates that the text encoding is understood, but the font has no glyph for this particular character. You need a font that has support for the characters that you use.
The font used in the IDE's editor windows is specified in your preferences under: Tools > Options > Editor Options > Display.
You need to choose a font that supports the language in your code. It sounds like you did that once but somehow the setting has got lost, or perhaps the installed font has been modified.

Virtual printer starting another application

Is there any way to develop a virtual printer . my requirements are
I want my virtual printer come in printer select drop-down (eg: as CutePDF printer writer )
When we select our custom virtual printer, open another application and transfer printer data to that application
Please help me to solve this problem
For the "driver" I guess you can use existing ones, e.g. Microsoft Postscript driver. What you need is a Print Monitor written in C which will receive the output of the "driver" (If you use Microsoft Postscript driver, the file will be a Postscript file) and then invoke the program you want. For details, please install Windows DDK and look at src\print\monitors\

How to test labels in QTP

I'm using QTP 9.5 test my application written in
Delphi. I got Delphi Add-in installed and QTP
can identify Delphi controls. Most but not all,
specially TLabel. QTP can not recognize this
control and is being ignored by Object Spy.
Any suggestion, tip, clues how to test labels ?
cheers !
Have you tried with TStaticText instead of TLabel?
They are Labels with a Window Handle (descending from TWinControl instead of TGraphicControl) which means they can get Windows messages from the outside.
I'm guessing that it's your problem. (only a guess as I don't know QTP)
It can detect controls like TSpeedButton? If not, this can be a sign that Qtp cannot detect controls that descend from TGraphicControl and therefore doesn't have a window handle.
You may be able to write your own Delphi extender for QTP to handle this. There should be a pdf in your QTP install path: C:\Program Files\HP\QuickTest Professional\help\Extensibility\DelphiExtensibility.chm and DelphiExtensibility.pdf.
If you still have to test it "as is" you probably have to go a more hard-coded way addressing the parent of those controls.
A window object in QTP through its methods allows finding a rectangular area containing the text, or clicking on a text found.
If it's an area on the screen with the big amount of labels you can dump a whole screen to the text file and go with the text file comparison. You can also normalize text retrieved before doing comparison.
This approach is less robust but you can improve it if calculating rectangles dynamically, without hard-coding points wherever possible.
