I Just bought a Zebra LP 2844 Label printer. I need to use it with Paypal shipping online. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...56227&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1125wt_1139)

I thought that OSX now includes the proper drivers for Zebra printers.

I cannot get it to work! I am using a parallel to usb cable.

Anyone have any advice!?

Help is much appreciated! Thanks!

AND

I've used the DYMO 4XL with my Mac. It was really easy, too! After installing the software that it came with, I was ready to print. No questions. No mysterious drivers to hunt down or weird configurations. I'm kicking myself now for getting a Zebra in an effort to save a few bucks.. I think I'm just going to return it and go back to DYMO.




Has anyone used either the Zebra LP-2844 or TLP-2844 Thermal Label Printers to Print Shipping Labels via eBay and/or PayPal??? (not just for any label, but eBay and/or PayPal ones)

If so, which driver have you used???


I've found this info so far:
CUPS Driver:

Peninsula Driver:

PLEASE HELP!!!

I've been trying to get a Zebra LP 2844 to play nice with eBay on both a Mac and Windows in Parallels. I can get labels to print but not correctly, they print over two labels, and only half of the actual shipping label shows up.

I've tried the default Mac printer drivers for Zebra, CUP drivers, and the Zebra drivers for Windows. There shouldn't be any reason why I can't get it to at least work properly with Windows in Parallels, but no luck so far.

I've read many people claim it works great using Stamps.com or Endicia, but I see no reason to pay an additional $16 per month for the right to print postage when that works just fine using eBay or Paypal's label printing. I just need to get this particular printer sorted out. I've had no trouble with other laser printers, just the Zebra is a puzzle.
