I have a ZEBRA ZT230 300dpi ZPL printer to which I m trying to send direct commands (without driver). I have the following simple zpl file:
^XA
^LH30,30
^FO20,10^AD^FDHello World^F5
^XZ
I have tried the commands:
cat label.zpl > /dev/bus/usb/001/004
cat label.zpl > /dev/usb/lp0
But in both cases I get bash: Permission denied
How can I send my file directly to the printer?

Add the user you do this with to be part of the GROUP /dev/usb/lp0 is set to.
ls -l /dev/usb/lp0
to get owner and group for /dev/usb/lp0. The group is likely to be lp. If your user is paul that would be
sudo usermod -a -G lp paul
You need to restart the session to make this active.

Thanks it worked! One more question. Suppose I have a program that does this command. Is the "add to GROUP" change permanent?

Yes, until you remove the group from the user
