Preview is a picture on this computer. Print sends the code you pasted, not a screenshot. To design the label with the mouse and then export ZPL, use the free online ZPL editor. If you came from Labelary, the Labelary alternative covers what is different. A longer walkthrough is on how to preview ZPL online.
