Thank You! These stupid label printers are such a pain! There are like 15 variations of the same model and they all require different drivers that you can’t find on the zebra or UPS sites half the time. And you can’t just take one and plug it into another PC without having to reinstall the drivers. I even moved a PC to a new office and reconnected the same printer to the same USB port and had to tell Windows where to find the stupid drivers after having to find them on another PC. ARGH! Rant over… Thanks again.

One little tip – the UPS drivers are unnecessary. All UPS is looking for is the name of the printer… e.g. You’re using a Zebra LP2844… use the standard Zebra drivers and rename the printer ” UPS Thermal 2844″ – works like a champ :)

I remember doing this a couple of years ago – why I couldn’t remember the solution today beats me. Thanks for the fix!

WOW! Thanks worked like a charm.
Now if I can just get my users to quit moving around to different workstations and creating new profiles.
