Mohamed,

Thank you for your interest in jZebra.  First, I would recommend contacting 
Bixolon for assistance with the BXL language.  For more information on the BXL 
language, see the Command Manual for your printer located here:
http://www.bixolon.com/upload/download/srp-350ii_command%20manual_rev_1_01.pdf

1. Do you have access to a BXL programming guide?  You may need to switch the 
printer's character table for Arabic (Page 22, Code #864 "Arabic").

2. How is the printer attached?  If it is USB, you should make sure to set up 
the Generic/Text driver.  Alternately, you can use the COM emulator from 
Bixolon's downloads section.

Tres,
Thank you very much for the fast reply, but really i didn't understand point 1 
and yes the printer is attached via usb so I am following step 2. And other 
question can I use printHTML for the purpose I want?

Mohamed,

I always suggest raw printing over HTML.

BXL is a raw printing language your printer supports, however you will need to 
learn the commands by following the programming guide.

Idk if someone else is going to need BXL sample, but in order not to struggle, 
like me for whole day, to figure it out here it is.
Find Command Manual for your printer here.
http://www.bixolon.com/upload/download/unified%20command%20manual_rev_1_01.pdf
For example I have SRP-150 and I want to select the character size.
Command for that is 'GS ! n'.
In order for this command to work we need to send it to printer as HEX.
In Command Manual you have HEX values for this command '1D 21 n'.Replace n with 
coresponding HEX value in this case its DEC(1) => HEX(01).
To use it with jZebra use it like this, \x indicates hexadecimal notation:
qz.append('\x1D\x21\x01\n');

I hope this will help to anyone who stumble across this in his search for 
answer.

            var textArr = text.ToCharArray(); 
            var data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(textArr);

            var socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
            socket.NoDelay = true;

            var ipAddress = IPAddress.Parse(ip);
            IPEndPoint remoteEP = new IPEndPoint(ipAddress, port);

            socket.Connect(remoteEP);

I do not see any QZ Print code in your example.  You need to verify you are 
actually using qz-print.

Also, our page has moved to https://github.com/qzind/qz-print
