  • Here's the best way to install one of these printers.
    (Side note: I also have a video on using this with eBay as of this year 2017)
    Here: • How To Print from eBay...
    On I think all version of windows. Even if you have figured it out through other methods this is still worth doing. Because the use of the printer after words is simplified.
    Using Windows 10 and a Zebra LP2844
    The place I get the drivers from is 3rd party, but they have been refining their drivers they put out for a very long time.

    When I download the ZP450 driver, click on “install printer drivers” proceed to next, that’s where the trouble starts. I cannot choose the USB option. It keeps showing me the magnifying glass searching. I tried using different cords, different sequences between turning printer on and off, and reset to factory settings. Nothing worked.

    • @freewaresucks
      @freewaresucks  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Another person down in the comments was having this issue with a laptop and using 3.0 USB ports on it. I'm not sure we ever figured it out I might have to do an updated video of this sometime when I get 3.0 ports. U could try network option instead but you have to know which USB port that zebra printer is hooked into. Reason why I choose USB option for vid was so ppl didn't have to figure it out but seems sometimes you have too.

    • @freewaresucks
      @freewaresucks  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ah well you could just use a program like lightshot to capture the screen. Or if you need further cropping you could just use paint or something but I like briss it's a little program that can crop pdf's. Either way once the image you want in a file. Whatever program you use to open it with you would just print to the zebra and it should be fine. That's the more manual way to do it. Other way I'm not 100% sure but I'd imagine you would have to hook your FedEx/ups account into the appropriate shipping program. I think FedEx is ship manager or something like that those would bring up the label you would want and interface with the zebra once that program is set correctly you would just print from there with no cropping or anything like that. Those companies have staff to tell you what the program is and how to set it up. Or you could log onto the account FedEx or UPS online and print from there I believe. Of course this all depends on whether its your FedEx or UPS account or eBays fedex/ups account. If it's eBays then I'm not sure in the seller portal where that would be and could print directly from there. I used almost exclusively USPS.

    • @PyroZippy
      @PyroZippy 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It is returns from companies we deal with so they just send us call tags which basically the ups or fedex labels to our email which seems to be sometimes pdf or looks to be a screen shot or a link to their site to print. either way if i do ebay usps etc. no problems printing with zebra but if i try to do from any of the items send thru them to email zebra won't print scale size correctly or will do too big too small or multi pages out of wack.

    • @freewaresucks

      So with any printers on a Windows machine you can "share" that printer for other computers on the same network. This requires a process I'm not familiar with off the top of my head but Google something how to setup a printer share on your version of Windows and that should lead you in the right direction.

    • @freewaresucks
      @freewaresucks  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      What this process really does is allow same networked computer the rights to access the machine that has the printer by changing some security setting in the on the printer

      I think so just a magnifying glass searching forever? I think either the usb plug isn't recognized and maybe you could try network option and in that should be a list of ports and one should be labeled with your printer? I think anyway. Like 3 or 4 people have had that issue. I might need to video that sometime also, never seen this issue everybody has talked about though.

      Yeah I heard this once before my thought was to make a video on doing in the same process to use the network option even though its usb. I hadn't have the time yet. But if you select the network option instead, it will show a list of interfaces available to choose from your computer and it would be one of the usb ports. A few other people also say it is never recognized either which this would also be a way to get it to work.
      Didn't know that would be an issue but its technology always changing issues with usb 3.0 and stuff like that. But the software and driver are the best,
