Zebra LP 2844 Thermal Printer Logo
Anonymous Posted on May 04, 2010

No option to use with Stamps.com

I purchased a Zebra 2844 and can't set to use with Stamps.com or Fedex. There are no options when choosing the kind of label to use.

Any solutions?

I am having the same problem and it is bugging me. I can print the test page through printer configuration but it will not allow me to select the thermal labels in stamps.com!

Testimonial: "This helps, I am calling stamp.com for solutions"

    I sort of found a solution.. lol. If you go to http://www.seagullscientific.com/aspx/th... and download the zebra printer driver from them and install it, it gives you an option in Stamps.com to print Zebra/Eltron 4x6 labels. However, for some reason, it does not allow you to print it with delivery confirmation which seems rather pointless to me. I plan on calling Stamps.com support and trying to figure it out tomorrow. Hope this helps.

    It was very odd, as I was on the phone with Stamps.com, I looked and the correct shipping label was on the list. It definitely wasn't there yesterday when I looked 50 different times!

Testimonial: "Yes, this helps, however I call Stamps.com & they advised me. They told me that I had downloaded the wrong driver. I needed the Universal driver. I got the correct driver & it worked. Thanks John"

    bacpro,

    In the event that you haven't had a chance to contact Stamps.com support, I wanted to see if I could provide a little bit more information:

    Typically, the problem that you are describing is a driver issue and this is something that we can easily walk you through over the phone.

    However, another issue could be that you need to add the label to the "Printing On" drop-down menu. To fix this, log in to Stamps.com and click "Packages". You should then see the "Printing On" drop-down on the right-hand side. Scroll all the way to the bottom and you will see "more". Click on "more" and you should be able to add the label you are looking for. Typically, customers use the Zebra/Eltron Type - Standard 4x6 Label -Roll" for this thermal printer. Hopefully this will solve the problem for you.

    If this doesn't solver your problem, can you please email at [email protected]?

    Thanks,

    Chuck

I have Zebra LP 2844-Z printer and the barcodes

Here are 3 suggestions.

1
Check that your label size definition is correct, measure your label height in mm and check that your printer driver settings match.

2
Perform a calibration. How?? when printer is on labels loaded and green light, hold feed key and wait for 2 blinks then release feed key. (If you release it after 1 flash you will print a configuration label)

3
If you are using Zebra Designer, download latest version of Zdesigner V2. Install latest printer driver V2.63. This driver & Zdesigner allows you to calibrate the printer directly from within Zdesigner. Go to File/Printer settings/ advanced options and click calibrate at bottom of page. when printer calibrates then tick the box USE PRINTER SETTINGS and printer will now work properly.

How can I remove the Designer driver. It's an upgrade but makes my printer useless to UPS Worldship and Stamps.com

I've worked with a few zebra printers and I seem to recall doing this to make it work:

Go into printers and delete the zebra printer
Go into add new printer and choose to install the pniter yourself and not automatically. Choose LPT1 and for teh printer type choose Generic Generic/Text only.

I want to restore my printer (zebra tlp 2844 to default)

Go to start, control panel, printers & faxes, click on printers. click on the zebra and then click on file and click on set as default. I think you can right click on the zebra and you will have the option to set it as default. This would be the easiest way

I need the driver for Zebra LP 2844 for MAC OS X.

OS X 10.5.2 and above have built-in ZPL and EPL drivers. Plug the printer in to USB, go to System Preferences > Print & Fax, click + , and choose the Zebra driver. For the LP2844 you choose the EPL2 driver.

Zebra TLP 2844-Z Test page print within Win XP

This printer requires special software to print labels with. It uses a unique PCL language to work with. Thats why when you use these printers with Fedex or UPS software, it typically downloads forms first before working.

Zebra used to see a label designer program to work with it. You might want to check with them to see if they still carry it.
