Shane Braddick here, did you try restarting your network? Assuming its a network printer?

If you are unable to change the IP address of your Zebra LP 2844-Z using the ^default command or Zebra Utilities, and updating the BIOS did not help either, you may need to try a factory reset of the printer. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold the feed button on the front of the printer.
3. While holding the feed button, turn on the printer.
4. Wait for the status light to turn solid red, and then release the feed button.
5. The status light will blink green a few times, and then turn solid green.
6. Press and release the feed button once. The status light will blink red a few times, and then turn solid amber.
7. Press and release the feed button again. The status light will blink green a few times, and then turn solid green.

The printer should now be reset to its factory settings, including the default IP address of 192.168.168.168. You should now be able to access the printer through this IP address and change the settings as needed.

The driver software is separate from the design software. Zebra notes the printers that have Mac OS drivers here: https://supportcommunity.zebra.com/s/article/000013605?language=en_US . Unfortunately, their CardStudio is only available for Windows. (So Boot Camp would be the only way to use the included software with any Mac OS.) A Google search for "Bar Code and ID card creation software for Mac OS" gave me a number of choices. One is an app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cardmaster-id-card-maker/id1493877440?mt=12 . I can't judge which application is best for your purpose. These range from free to try to Corporate software packages. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

It sounds like there may be an issue with the onboard flash memory on your printer. Try performing a factory reset (hold down the pause and cancel buttons during startup) to see if that clears the problem. If not, you may need to contact Zebra customer support for further assistance.

Likely a bad card sensor. Check with your Zebra dealer for possible warranty coverage (if less than 2-years old or you have the optional Zebra OneCare plan), of other service options. If you don't have a dealer contact, we're located in the USA, are a Zebra reseller, and service all brands of plastic-card printers. Best of luck!
