Printing a report to a Zebra label printer fails with 'PLUGIN EXCEPTION... PluginExecute Failed. OutputBinary failed printer is null,' across both the Java and .NET Print Agents, even with a virtual PDF printer installed as a test target.

Answer

Check the mapping between the logical printer and the Print Agent in the report/print formatter configuration — a 'printer is null' plugin failure like this commonly comes down to the logical printer not actually being correctly mapped to a Print Agent instance, rather than a problem with the physical printer or the plugin itself. Confirming and correcting that logical-printer-to-Print-Agent mapping resolves it, whichever Print Agent (Java or .NET) you're using.
