zpl-tool

zpl-tool is a webapp designed for managing multiple ZPL templates. It provides an easy-to-use interface for managing ZPL templates with the ability to insert variables such as ${MY_VARIABLE} directly into your templates. zpl-tool features a live preview of the templates (powered by labelary.com and/or BinaryKits.Zpl ), which automatically updates as you develop your template.

Besides template management, zpl-tool also provides support for managing multiple printers, including serial and tcp network printers.
