.NET Core build of SharpZebra.DesktopPrinting

[junior-santana]

Hey, this project has been very handy for an application I have running for years for a client.
I am now in the process of migrating this project from .NET Framework 4.7.2 to .NET 8.0.
I used the "standard" version of the package, and it works. For printing, though, I need the spool version, which is only compatible with the old framework.
I know the printing APIs are windows-only but so is my app.
I copied the necessary class into my project, and it seems everything there is compatible.
I tested with a virtual printer, but I believe it will work on a real one seamlessly.

Can we have a .NET Core build of the package, even if it's Windows-only?

The holdup here is the calling of the windows libraries has change in NET core. That code was either inherited from the project's previous owner, or copied from online sources, I don't have experience in it myself, and not a lot of time to teach myself and test. Also, I don't have access to a USB Zebra printer, so I couldn't even test that printer type if I wanted to...

I see, yeah I don't have a printer to test it either.
My app was fully migrated to.NET10, but my client is not using this version.
When/if they need an update I'll push this version and ask them to validate the printing.
If that happens, I'll come back to you with the results.
