Windows IoT - USB Printer Zebra - how to install - printing

I saw this question: Windows IoT - USB Printer
It is nearly similar.
The problem is; I don't know how to install the driver for this printer GX420d on windows iot - I do know how to build the cab (with inf2cab) but the printer is always shown as:
Properties:
ID : USB\VID_0A5F&PID_0084\30J163301131
Description : ZTC GX420d
StatusCode : 25191424
ProblemCode : 28
Does anyone has an idea where I can get the right ARM-Driver?
Kind Regards

How do I take a Toshiba B-EP2DL barcode printer out of Z-Mode

I have 2 Toshiba B-EP2DL barcode printers and one is showing Z-Mode so have to use Zebra compatible drivers to print. I prefer to use the TPCL drivers but cannot find any mention on how to turn off the Zebra emulation. Can anyone assist?

Unable to create hotspot

I was actually using a software mhotspot on my windows 10,so that i can create hotspot from my laptop,and it was working nicely. But few days back,my windows got updated and from then whenever I try to create the hotspot ,it shows me "Driver problem found !" . It may be for another reson but I suspect that it went wrong after the updation of Windows. I have tried almost every action to retrieve the hotspot,but no use. surely I am missing something crucial delicated fact. Anyone would help me please? I know this topic is bit odd. But I needed help badly and I believe I can get best help from this site.
You can create a hotspot very easily using cmd.
Give it a try.

I solved my own problem. Actually in the updated windows 10 , microsoft hosted network virtual adapter is missing. But we can install windows 8 hosted network virtual adapter here. we need to goto device manager. And there from network adapter we need to uninstall the wireless LAN adapter . And after that installing windows 8's wireless LAN adapter would lead to the final solution.
Here is the link for windows 8's wireless LAN adapter.

And now we can easily create hotspot again from windows.

Brother Label Printer SDK bPac 3.1 Failed to print

I've got the printer driver, P-touch Editor, b-PAC 3.1 and client tools, all 64-bit, downloaded from the Brother website and installed on my 64-bit Windows 7 laptop. The P-touch Editor works/prints fine.
However, b-PAC failed, and none of the samples worked. I debugged the code:
bool b = doc.PrintOut(1, bpac.PrintOptionConstants.bpoDefault);
where b is false. What could be wrong?
I was hitting the same problem, everything appears to work right up to the point where I called "PrintOut", which fails with error 11, "The currently specified printer is not supported".
It turns out the problem I had was with the driver. I had installed the printer driver from the CDROM that came with the label printer. Windows 7 also comes with an "in-box" driver for the printer and in fact this is the one you should install (it's marked with an "LE" at the end).
To fix the problem, all you need to do is go to the "Devices and Printers" dialog, select the printer, right click on it and select "Printer properties", select the "Advanced" tab and click "New Driver". Find the printer in the list that matches yours but with an "LE" at the end and click OK.
Printing is possible with either of the drivers using the P-Touch editor. Odd thing is, "LE" appears to stand for "Light Edition", but the "Heavy" version doesn't work!... strange.
On my Windows 10 x64 machine, I've had a similar issue using Ruby to print through the bPAC SDK (using win32ole). My code worked on another machine, but not mine.
After fighting with this for a long time, I figured out that all was fine and dandy when using the 32 bit version of the bPAC SDK (and Ruby). Don't know exactly what went wrong here, but it might be that the 64bit SDK is just broken.
I had a similar problem, so I added this after the printOut to see which code I was getting.
string sError = doc.ErrorCode
It returned Error 11, which corresponds to "Device is not supported", but the device was a QL-570 which IS supported.
To get it working, I used the following steps:
Side-install the 32bits sdk.
Open your 64bit sample.
Change target configuration platform from "any cpu" to "x86"
Compile
See also: Label printing development using b-pac SDK in a C# application
The important thing is the application that you uses.
If your app is a 32bitapp (inclusive excel) you need the bPAC SDK for 32bit even when they are running on 64-bit Windows OS.
Some printers only support 32-bit b-PAC SDK ver.
(even if you use windows 10 64-bit with Excel 64-bit)

I had the same problem (printOut gave me the error code 11).
The error appeared after switching from the printer PT-9800 to PT-P950.
Trying 32 and 64bit did not work for me.
What fixed it was uninstalling the driver of the PT-9800. I found a hint in the b-PAC 3.4 SDK Help in the section Troubleshooting: "if the old label printer will no longer be used, we recommend deleting the printer driver."

Switch Zebra S4M to EPL

When connected, my Zebra printer the S4M is recognised by Windows with the "ZDesigner S4M-203dpi ZPL" driver and I'd like to use the EPL Driver "ZDesigner S4M-203dpi EPL".
I tried to install it manually, delete the ZPL driver, use the Zebra utility setup, upgrade the firmware to the last version but I didn't find the switch option.
I found one answer : http://www.fixya.com/support/t1950296-zebra_sm4_label_printer_change_zpl_epl
You will need to change the firmware on this printer in order to be able to change the language. I don't believe this printer will allow you to change the language using the advanced options in the menu unless they have recently changed this.
I found also a web page which proposed to download old driver for the S4M but I prefer to avoid it. http://www.jamfrance.com/site/support/download.asp?categorie=13
Note : To verify if the EPL driver was working, I used a custom application which send EPL data and I tryied to use Zebra firmware downloader which have 2 interesting options : Send EPL page and Send ZPL Page. You probably guessed, only the ZPL page works.
well i found the solution : https://km.zebra.com/kb/index?page=answeropen&type=open&searchid=1324718583535&answerid=16777216&iqaction=5&url=https%3A%2F%2Fkm.zebra.com%2Fkb%2Findex%3Fpage%3Dcontent%26id%3DSO8156%26actp%3Dsearch%26viewlocale%3Den_US&highlightinfo=6292684,73,91#
The EPL firmware is listed in the Special Firmware section on Zebra.com.
I have to install the special firmware of the S4M and it works .. it's sad that they don't explain the "Special" term (and in the release note also)
