Zebra LP2844 printer for Amazon label

TonyAlmeida · #1 12-22-2016

I have this printer long time ago but never using it. I would like to setup this printer to work with Amazon shipping label. Anyone here using one right now? If you do, please point me to the right direction

Thank you and appreciate for your time.

you need to hook it up to one of those software programs like stamps or encidia and link your amazon account to that. the hardest part is getting the printer setup with your computer but once u do OMG! time saver

You dont need to do any of this.

If you print off of amazon directly, just click, "thermal printer" and then print....

But amazon eliminates item not received cases. It all depends on the volume of an account.

For big volume, shipstation is an excellent tool.

Internet postage is the best thing since sliced bread...I've used endicia since 2003 and it's a good option if you send a high volume of low-value items, as the $15.95/month is a flat fee (there might be a cheaper tier but I can't do without the "stealth postage")

Am still using an LP2442 and parallel port, but this year I bought and set up the 2844 in anticipation of upgrading my motherboard and having to go to USB. It was a gently used model bought on eBay, so I had to download the driver (Seagull, or something like that) and it was a bit more hassle to get it installed than other cases (e.g. Canon drivers from Canon website), but once that was in it worked fine.

Fedex websites has the best drivers in my experience.

as for printers, ZP500PLUS is excellent for cheap money.
