A Validated Integration, Not Just Compatibility

ezeep's integration with Zebra goes beyond basic driver support. ezeep completed Zebra's Enterprise Testing Program, which tests interoperability across select Zebra mobile computers, scanners, printers, and RFID solutions. The validation confirmed that ezeep delivers reliable, true-to-format, machine-readable label output across Zebra's desktop, mobile, and industrial printer lines.

This means organizations deploying Zebra devices can rely on ezeep as a tested and confirmed cloud print management layer, not a workaround.

What the Zebra Enterprise Testing Program Means

Zebra's Enterprise Testing Program tests interoperability between partner software and Zebra hardware under real-world conditions. ezeep was validated against a representative sample of desktop, mobile, and industrial printers, confirming reliable output, format fidelity, and machine readability across all tested devices.

Because the validated models span Zebra's major product lines, compatibility extends broadly across the portfolio. ezeep's cloud-hosted driver library adds support for additional models beyond the validated set.

For the full list of validated and supported Zebra devices, see our Zebra printing page.

Who This Is For

Who Benefits Most from Cloud-Managed Zebra Printing

Warehouse and Distribution Operations

Connect Zebra printers across receiving docks, pick lines, and shipping stations to one cloud platform. The ezeep Hub eliminates the need for local PCs or print servers at each location. Printer Profiles keep label output consistent across shifts and sites.

Retail Chains and Multi-Location Businesses

Manage Zebra label printers in every store from a single console. Deploy the ezeep Hub at each site, assign printers by location or role, and push label settings centrally. No on-site IT visits to configure or troubleshoot printers.

Third-Party Logistics and MSPs

Manage Zebra fleets across multiple client sites without VPNs or dedicated infrastructure at each location. ezeep's cloud console and API give you centralized visibility and automation across every account you service.

Manufacturing and Production Lines

Automate label printing from ERP and MES systems using the ezeep Print API. When a production event triggers a label, ezeep routes the job to the correct Zebra printer on the floor. Printer Profiles ensure every label meets specification.

How to Connect

How to Connect Your Zebra Fleet to ezeep

Two paths depending on your environment. Both get your Zebra printers into the cloud in minutes.

1

Option A: The ezeep Hub (No PC Required)

Deploy the ezeep Hub at each location with Zebra printers. The Hub connects USB and network Zebra printers to ezeep's cloud platform automatically. No always-on PC, no print server, no VPN. Ideal for warehouses, branch offices, and retail stores where simplicity and reliability matter most.

Option B: The ezeep Connector (Windows PC or Server)

Install the ezeep Connector on a Windows machine that already has Zebra printers connected. The Connector registers those printers with ezeep and makes them available through the cloud. Useful when Zebra printers are already attached to an existing Windows environment.

After Connecting

Assign printers to users or groups, apply Printer Profiles with your label settings, and configure automation through the ezeep API or integrations with Zapier and Make.

Coworking hero

Automate Label Printing from Any Business System

Connecting Zebra printers to the cloud is the foundation. What makes it powerful is what you build on top. The ezeep Print API and integrations with Zapier, Make, and Pabbly let you trigger label printing automatically from any system: ERP, WMS, CRM, shipping platforms, or custom web applications.

An order comes in, a label prints. A status changes in SAP, a shipping label is produced on the warehouse floor. No manual steps, no user interaction required

Why Not Just Use Zebra's Own Management Tools?

Zebra offers its own fleet management through tools like Printer Profile Manager Enterprise, Print DNA, and Link-OS. These work well for configuring and monitoring Zebra hardware directly. But they don't replace a cloud print management layer.

ezeep handles what Zebra's tools don't: centralized print job routing across locations, cloud-hosted driver rendering so endpoints stay clean, user and group-based printer assignments, Printer Profiles that standardize label output across your entire fleet, and API-driven automation for triggering print jobs from any business system. If you also print to non-Zebra devices, ezeep manages those from the same console.

Think of it this way: Zebra's tools manage the printer. ezeep manages the printing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that ezeep is validated by Zebra?

ezeep completed Zebra's Enterprise Testing Program, which tests the interoperability of partner software with Zebra hardware under real-world conditions. The validation confirmed reliable, true-to-format, machine-readable label output across Zebra's desktop, mobile, and industrial printer lines, including the ZD420, ZQ521, ZD621, ZQ320, ZD621R, ZT411, and ZT230. Organizations can deploy ezeep with Zebra devices knowing the combination has been formally tested and confirmed by Zebra.

Do I need to reformat my existing label templates to use ezeep?

No. ezeep supports Zebra's native ZPL and CPCL print languages. Your existing label templates work immediately without conversion or reformatting. Jobs are rendered using cloud-hosted Zebra drivers and delivered to the printer in its native format, so barcodes, QR codes, and RFID encoding remain machine-readable.

How is ezeep different from Zebra's own printer management tools?

Zebra offers tools like Printer Profile Manager Enterprise, Print DNA, and Link-OS for configuring and monitoring Zebra hardware directly. ezeep adds a cloud print management layer on top: centralized job routing across locations, cloud-hosted driver rendering, user and group-based printer assignments, and API-driven automation from any business system. If you also print to non-Zebra devices, ezeep manages those from the same console.

Can I automate label printing from ERP, WMS, or shipping systems?

Yes. The ezeep Print API lets any application trigger label print jobs to Zebra printers programmatically. No-code integrations with Zapier, Make, and Pabbly can automate printing based on events like new orders, inventory updates, or status changes in SAP, Oracle WMS, Manhattan Active, or any system that generates print output.

How do I connect Zebra printers in remote warehouse or retail locations?

The ezeep Hub is a small device that connects Zebra printers to the cloud without a PC, print server, or VPN. Deploy one at each location, connect your Zebra printers via USB or network, and manage them centrally from the ezeep admin console. The Hub is managed remotely and requires no on-site IT.
