Using a Zebra LP-2844 Printer with Paypal/eBay?

As we are trying to streamline our online business, we purchased a label printer with thermal cabiblities to save on ink. Little did we know that it would be a gigantic nightmare. Our first expeirence was with a Brother printer, which turned out to be not compatible with eBay. Decided with the Zebra after reading some great reviews, and it turns out it isn't natively supported by Zebra either.  However, I have read of people that are using it successfully.
To install it, I just plugged it in and used the Native Zebra EPL2 drivers that are included with Mavericks OS.
However, now that I'm trying to actually print something with Paypal, I can't get the labels to print correctly. It won't all fit on one label, even if I change the setting to equal the label size of 4 x 6.
I did some research about CUPS, but am unsure if I'm supposed to use it to install ADDITIONAL drivers, or if it's just a way to tweak settings that aren't available in system preferences. I changed the default setting to 4 x 6 within CUPS, but it still doesn't fit on the labels in Paypal.
I've spent days now trying to get printing set up more efficently, and cannot figure this out. It is a huge nightmare.
Any suggestions (is there ANY native supported thermal printer that works with eBay paypal?), should I use Endicia, is that a better option? Should I try installing additional drivers, if so from where? I'm just stumped at this point and in a little over my head.

You might have to partition your drive on your MAC and add Windows OS as a second operating system, then add Google Chrome to Windows. I beleive you have to reboot to go between the two OS's.

    How can I use my Dell photo 924 printer with my iMac, I have tons of ink and don't want to buy a new printer right now.

    People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
    Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
    Click Print & Scan ( ).
    Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
    Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen

  • HP laserjet 1200 using windows7, cabled to the printer with a usb to parallel adapter

    HP laserjet 1200 using windows7. My computer has USB ports, but no parallel port, so the computer is cabled to the printer with a usb to parallel adapter. Sometimes works fine, sometimes system states printer as ready, but will not print. Reboot hardware and on restart, I got one page to print. Next attempt to print puts the document in cue, but just sits there -- no error message. Finally, after multiple restarts, I got it to print (have no idea how), but now I had to print 20 pages one page at a time. It will not print more than one page, even if I select to print 20. Next time I start the computer I don't know if the printer will print. Do you need to use the same USB port each time, Or are the USB to parallel adapters undependable?
    This question was solved.

    Hey renradd!
    Unfortunately, parallel to USB adapters can be undependable. Other than a new printer, I'm not sure what would provide you with a fix for this problem. You might try another adapter if you have one, but if that still doesn't work I would look into a printer that your computer could support.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can I use a old dot matrix printer with my mac

    I want to add a old Panasonic KX-P2023 and use it as my printer. I have a mac osx 10.7.5 is this possible??

    If you are successful finding an OS X driver for it, you ought to be able to use this cable to connect it to your iMac:
    http://www.iogear.com/product/GUC1284B/
    I have successfully used that cable to print with every OS X version through Mountain Lion. It works with all other parallel printers I have tried including HP, Epson, and Apple, but I don't have your model Panasonic. When connected, the printer appears in Print & Scan as "ATEN UC-1284B Printer Cable".
    I think the driver may be your biggest challenge. There may be compatible drivers from other manufacturers so don't limit your search to Panasonic. Search for an OS X driver for a similar dot matrix printer - consider C. Itoh, Epson, Okidata, or Ricoh. If you find a generic driver use it. Some printers were simply rebranded models manufactured by others. I don't know about your Panasonic though.

  • HT4356 Can I use my Kodak wi if printer with my iPad

    I want to print from my iPad and have a Kodak wi fi printer.  How do I connect

    You can. I have a Kodak printer. But since it's not an airprint printer you need to use something else to make it work.
    First, look on Kodak's site. They have options that vary with model. Some are built around using Google Docs to mail your document to your printer. Other options are to have a hardwired computer that you upload the docs to that then prints.
    If you don't want to use those then third party apps work. I have print n share that I use for my iPad and Kodak printer, but there are other apps as well such as printopia or print central.

  • Can I use the AirPort Extreme to print with my iPhone on a non AirPrint compatible printer

    Can I used this as my new network router and make my printer work with my iPad and iPhone

    In order to print from an iPhone or iPad, your printer needs to be AirPrint compatible.  Check to see if your printer is compatible using this Apple support document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Simply connecting the printer to the AirPort Extreme will not make it AirPrint compatible.

  • How can I use adobe forms to force payment (with PayPal) to ensure payment before registration? Or is this an issue with PayPal?

    I am using adobe forms to create a registration form for a workshop that I am holding. It is a $10 charge to attend however I am having difficulties ensuring the payment goes through before the participant is put on the registration list.

    The software download options from Samsung for Mac do not include ML-2010. I'm glad to have a new computer, but not happy that my printer is unusable with it. The printer is, however, compatible with my year-old Acer laptop. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • Used wrong payment method when paying with PayPal account!

    Hello, Okay so I bought tickets on StubHub and when it asked me how I would like to pay, I checked my PayPal account. But it never said which payment method from PayPal it would charge. I have my PayPal Credit as my default payment method so I assumed it would have been my PayPal Credit account that gets charged. But now I see that a hugh amount was debited out of my bank. I wanted to use my PayPal Credit account to pay because it's such a hugh amount. My question is; can I transfer the payment to my PayPal Credit account and get the money credited back to my bank account? I would like to pay incrementally and I can't afford to give up such a hugh amount all at once. I'm afraid I'll have to cancel the payment if I can't do that. Please help!!! Thanks!

  • Problem printing horizontal text in smartform with zebra Z6M label printer

    hello,
    The situation is this:
    There is a Z smartform wich prints a label to a zebra Z6M label printer with the text and barcodes vertically.
    The form have a command in the main windows with the parameter: S_LZPL_SETUP     '^FWR'
    This label works fine, but the client want to change the form, they have told me to create a new smartform and print the info horizontally, using the same printer.
    The tests i have done are the following:
    create a smartform from ground and write a template text and a barcode with a new font of system barcodes. the bardoce is shown ok(it is shown horizontally), the problem is that the template text is shown vertically, as in the original smartform.
    then i tried on another zebra ZM600 label printer, similar model, but not the same, and the smartform printed was ok (text and barcodes shown horizontally). So i think is a configuration setting problem, but i dont know where to search.
    i have checked the label printer parameters in SPAD, but didnt find anything souspicios.
    have you any idea?
    thanks in advance.

    See these if they be of any help.....
    BARCODE:
    goto smartform styles-> create a style-->
    create a character format.
    under standard settings give the bar code name
    use this style in ur smartform. select the data field which u want to barcode print and assign the character format
    Similarly
    SAPSCRIPT
    open the form and click the character format button and
    repeat the step as above....
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/68/4a0d5b74110d44b1b88d9b6aa1315b/frameset.htm
    Go to Character formate in your form.
    create a new char formate with enable BAR code AND
    you can give its type too.
    To Create a Bar code prefix:
    1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
    Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
    The place where you are using the field value use like this
    <C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
    You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
    Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.

    Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
    A barcode solution consists of the following:
    a barcode printer
    a barcode reader
    a mobile data collection application/program
    A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
    in machine readable format.
    There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
    You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
    Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
    Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
    Creating Bar code:
    ) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
    Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
    The place where you are using the field value use like this
    <C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
    You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
