Hi, I have the following XML file and its content as below:

XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM "\\pena-ap-008v\GSF_Test_Label\label.dtd">
<labels _FORMAT="GSF_Test_Label\1055_3122_Box_label.lwl" _JOBNAME="$JOBNAME$" _PRINTERNAME="$PRINTERNAME$">
<label>
<variable name="CustAssNumber">$CustAssNumber$</variable>
<variable name="CustP_N">$CustP_N$</variable>
<variable name="CustRev">$CustRev$</variable>
<variable name="BatchNumber">$BatchNumber$</variable>
<variable name="SerNumber1">$SerNumber1$</variable>
<variable name="DateTime">$DateTime$</variable>
</label>
</labels>

I will pass all the value into the XML file using C# codes and its content/output as below:

?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"? !DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM \"\\\\pena-ap-008v\\GSF_Test_Label\\label.dtd\"[] labels _FORMAT=\"GSF_Test_Label\\1055_3122_Box_label.lwl\" _JOBNAME=\"f996f9eb-f725-4e59-9e70-fab2edb57ba7\" _PRINTERNAME=\"GSFTEST\" label variable name=\"CustAssNumber\" 1053-7116 /variable variable name=\"CustP_N\" /variable variable name=\"CustRev\" /variable variable name=\"BatchNumber\" /variable variable name=\"SerNumber1\" JG130802962 /variable variable name=\"DateTime\" 19 Dec 2014 /variable /label /labels

sorry for the messiness, the above is the output that I retrieved using debug mode. After all has been done, a label should be printed out according to all the values inside the XML and the weird thing is the message "Label has been printed successfully" is prompted but the label did not come out.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Looks like you are using a Zebra printer.
If your actual output is what you show, it is not well formed XML, so that is probably the reason for the failure.
How do you generate the output?

I think one problem is that you have omitted the required attribute _QUANTITY in your data.

Your XML data should look like this:

XML

<!DOCTYPE labels SYSTEM "\\pena-ap-008v\GSF_Test_Label\label.dtd">
<labels _FORMAT="GSF_Test_Label\1055_3122_Box_label.lwl" _JOBNAME="f996f9eb-f725-4e59-9e70-fab2edb57ba7" _PRINTERNAME="GSFTEST" _QUANTITY="1">
  <label>
    <variable name="CustAssNumber">1053-7116<<variable>
    <variable name="CustP_N"></variable>
    <variable name="CustRev"></variable>
    <variable name="BatchNumber"></variable>
    <variable name="SerNumber1">JG13080296</variable>
    <variable name="DateTime">19 Dec 2014</variable>
  </label>
</labels>

If you send the above XML data directly to the printer, a label should be printed.
If this is indeed for a Zebra printer, I don't recognize the extension .lwl in the _FORMAT attribute. I usually use .zpl
