BI Publisher Support for Thermal Printers?

Hello,
Does anyone know if BI Publisher supports output to a Thermal Printer's (zebra Intermec Tec).

If so, how have you found the product as far as label development and maintenance?

I believe the upgrade to JDE World Version 9.2 includes a Free/Limited version of BI Publisher.
If we have to pay additional for Thermal Printer support, i think we might just go with another BarCode/Thermal Printer specific product.

regards,
Jason
 
Take a look this BIP Blog post:

It covers a PDF to CUPS to ZPL solution at a high level. I have just started to work with the approach but have had initial success with my prototype.

You will also find that Zebra offers a BIP connector that converts BIP XML output directly to ZPL.

I haven't worked with Intermec or Tec. Here is another BI Blog post that describes an approach that could be used to work with any thermal label printer. Intermec is mentioned:
