Sorry for the delay. I'll be honest, I don't check the forums all too often. Anyway, I'm not sure exactly how you would get that information. I know how to send data *to* the printer, but I'm not exactly sure how you would receive any kind of response *back*. There's a ReadPrinter function that could potentially do it, but I haven't researched it enough to know for sure, and it's not part of the AHK class so I'd have to write it..
Edit: I don't know if ReadPrinter is going to do what you're needing after all.. Looking at the Direct Communication option Zebra has, it must communicate with the printer on some kind of driver level that we can't see, as it doesn't seem to send commands through the print queue. This would make sense, as it requires two-way communication. I'm not sure how this can be replicated, as it doesn't use the print queue and it doesn't use a COM port.
