My zebra lp 2844 won't turn on. There is power going through the powerchord, I see the light on the battery, but the printer won't turn on.

Try reseting the auto gap detection.

Hold the feed button while turning on the printer. After a config label prints, turn the printer off and then on again, and try printing again.

Also, make sure the lid is closed far enough to engage the lid sensor. If the red light comes on again, press down a bit on the lid, hit the feed button and try to print again.

SOURCE: 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.

The printer driver should be set to Continuous or it will think it is still Gap or Black Mark. Please adjust accordingly

With the printer off, press and hold the FEED key while you turn the printer on. When the LED flashes once, let go and a Config label will print.


Hope that helps !
