Aquí les dejo un pequeño programa que me habilita la impresión desde PowerShell en impresoras de etiquetas SATO. (parte del código salio de

Add-Type -TypeDefinition $src -Language CSharpVersion3
$PrinterHelper = new-object RawPrinterHelper
Su uso es simple, por ejemplo desde otro archivo ps1 hacemos
. .\PrinterHelper.ps1
$PrinterHelper.SendStringToPrinter('\\PROG03\sato cg408', '<STX><ESC>A1002400880<ESC>A<ESC>H0030<ESC>V0030<ESC>BT101030100<ESC>BW03100*555*<ESC>H0030<ESC>V0133<ESC>WB0555<ESC>Q1<ESC>Z<ETX>')
Con lo que estaríamos imprimiendo una etiqueta con el valor 555 en code39, imprimiendo el número 555 debajo.
Esta misma clase se puede usar para imprimir desde .Net (con c#)
