Create a ZPL (ZEBRA printer language) data stream from OTF data

We want to process a smartform and somehow fetch the ZPL data stream (which is normally created by the printer driver in ERP) in order to send it to a sub system.

I tried to find some function module debugging SP01 (print spool request) but did not find anything reuseable.

Is there a possibility to generate the ZPL data stream out of the OTF that I get from the smartform call?

If you select in the menu SP01 > Goto > Options "RAW" and display your spool, you see an OTF not an ZPL2 ?

The note 5799 - How can you view prepared print data proposes several manual solutions, is it sufficient?

If you want to send the data to a subsystem, can't you do it with SPAD configuration?
