Zebra LP 2844 Label Printer - won't install driver

[gymangel812]

I'm trying to install the zebra label printer and from what i've read, my OS (10.6.8) should have the driver available in print setup (after i plug in the printer via USB). I am using a 36 pin parallel usb cable. when i plug it into the computer, it doesn't seem to recognize it at all (it doesn't show up in the finder>devices). also, maybe i'm looking in the wrong place, would print setup just be in system preferences>print & fax?

Did you get it to work???

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:
