RawPrint

RAW Print allows sending RAW data directly to local printers through http://localhost:9100 (configurable). This is useful for label printing applications.

RAW Print functions as a Windows Service. You can try it out here.

I was inspired to write this by programs like KwickPython and Zebra Browser Print.

Quick Start Instructions

Get list of available printers (GET):

http://localhost:9100

Send data to printer (GET):
