printing from snow leopard to zebra lp 2844 from html page

i am attempting to print labels from our c开发者_C百科ustom CMS for products using EPL2 label printer drivers but having no luck.

the printer spits out about 12 labels (4x1") but no text is visible.

i set up the printer manually and using the CUPS admin interface and get the same results each time.

zebra doesn't make a native driver, but i am finding on the web that this driver should work.

any advice would be much appreciated.

thanks.

What kind of data are you sending to the device? If you're just doing a File->Print of the web page it should work with the OS drivers, no need to go into the CUPS interface. If you're writing to the spool folder you should be sending raw EPL code - look for the EPL Programming Guide @ Zebra.com

Make sure you setup the device correctly as well. http://www.nrgsoft.com/blog/?p=11

what ended up working was doing a factory reset and using @page along with paper size settings to print in the correct dimensions.

the only printer i could get to actually work the way it was supposed to was Chrome.
