Setup Zpl Printer On D365 F&O
Recently, I have had an opportunity review the possibilities to print license plates within D365. Unfortunately, there is no peripheral simulator available in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and operations. But there is an ability to do a tricky move by setting up the Zpl printer Chrome extension.
Use the link below to install Zpl printer Chrome extension:

Click on Settings button.
Make sure that:
Port name = 127.0.0.1
Printer name or IP address = 127.0.0.1

Click OK button.
Click Next button.
In the Install the printer driver, select Generic / Text only.
