Installed software, doesn't work. Realized it's probably because of Vista Home that I have. Went to Zebra, downloaded drivers and install. Reinstalled with the Vista version. No printy the printer. I know it's gotta work....it came with a printed sample in the machine. Stupid Vista. Is that the trouble?
Try to make the self-test first: Power OFF Press "FEED" and keep it pressed and turn the power ON again. Did it print?! if Yes... There must be a cable problem or port. Is it USB? Serial? Parallel ? Let's say it's Parallel, go to the command line and type: "dir >lpt1" without the quotes and assuming it's connected to 1st parallel port did it print?! on serial would be "dir >com1" or, if it shows up in "Printers", pre-define it and just type: "dir >prn" Still doesn't work!? Try with a different cable, or other computer. You can use it even without installing the drivers...

I use it to print small jewelery tags. It prints the vertical 90o bar codes fine but when I try to print the same bar code horizontally it does not print all the lines. Thought I had printer head problem but the same happens with the new one.
