Usually you need ot set the discovery to disable and set a perminient IP address for the printer. When in discovery , depending you network, it may loose comms.
If your network is running DHCP. (192.168.x.xxx, try 192.168.1.200 /snm 255.255.0.0.

Also the dmxnet card takes a while to initialize(30 seconds).

This can be caused by either the software, or the printer's electronic or mechanical settings. Software will usually override the printer settings for print speed, temperature, label dimensions, etc. In order to fully diagnose, I would need to know if the print is too high, too low, too far left or right, or skipping a label, etc.

Yes, you can order another cd for the m-4206 from any authorized reseller. But, do you really need one? All the cd's have old drivers on them, and newer drivers are available online for free download.

If you can not see it in the LCD menu on the front panel, you can find it by printing the IP info on a label. There is a reset button near the Ethernet jack that will let you reset the print server settings or allow you to print a config label. Load up some media, power the printer on. Once the printer is fully booted, use a paper clip or the like to press the button once. A label will print that details the IP settings. Once you have the IP settings, you can log into the printers web interface by typing the IP address in your browsers URL bar. Do get a copy of the manual.
