Printing Labels Troubleshooting Steps

Sometimes if you install your ZPL printer directly from Windows, it won't work. If this is your situation (the ZPL won't print), consider the following steps:

  1. Install the ZPL Setup Utility https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/printer-software/printer-setup-utilities.html

  2. Install your ZPL printer drives from the Zebra Setup Utility

  3. In Windows under Printers (see image below) 

    1. Uninstall your ZPL printer

    2. Then, using the Zebra Setup Utility, reinstall your printer

    3. set your ZPL printer as the default printer.

  1. In Windows, under Printers, uninstall all unwanted printers from computer (many times, printing issues involve conflicting printer and print drivers).
