My Zebra LP2844 was manufactured January 2005, I have dropped it down a flight of stairs (twice!), and bought it from Goodwill for $7.99 6 years ago... and it is still pushing out labels on a daily basis. I have a variation that has a auto cutter on the front that I haven't seen on many of these. I use it for eBay, Etsy, and Amazon FBA shipments (including the individual item labels, which I just print 5-6x at a time and cut them out with scissors). Works with Pirate Ship and Google Cloud so I will use my iPhone to print labels to the Zebra. It is hands down the most reliable thing in my life.

When I saw this video my jaw dropped. I was the original molder of these. We were in Ventura, CA and Eltron was in Camarillo, CA These were really nice molds, although we didn't make them. The body parts were precolored ABS, the dome was smoke Acrylic, some of the interior parts were Acetal. Zebra has a free program, "Designer 3" that makes excellent product labels. My problem is making labels for UPS and FedEx. I don't ship enough to mess with UPS Worldship, I just use the Web based method and I get a decent label, not perfect. However, with FedEx the label is really marginal. Does anyone have a lead on a FedEx label solution. The ideas I've seen where you make a PDF is too much work if you want to make a dozen label shipment.

TPL uses ribbon to print, not thermal. So different labels and you need to buy ribbon for it to work. Ribbon is good if you want the labels to last long, but for shipping labels or so, it's not needed, just brings the price up as you have to buy 2 things (both thermal transfer labels and ribbon) and not 1 (only direct thermal labels).

I’m actually not too surprised knowing the brand and corporate. Zebra printers are primarily made in the US and I don’t think they want to go through the MFi capabilities process. Anytime a company like Apple forces your hand to be compatible it opens you up for being knock offed in China and diluted. Zebra has the market cornered with their brand. They don’t need Apple to thrive. If Zebra ever merged ideas with Apple, it would be on Zebras terms and only to their benefit. I’m definitely looking at the Brother. I have two of their printers on my network and their software is easy to use. Thanks for the recommendation and info!

Great review! Loved t! However, dude your review drove the price Up... can't hardly find them for under $100 now... The only ones found under $100 are the ones open for bids, but is the Arkscan 2054A the same printer under a different brand? At those prices "made in the USA" is the only thing that still catches my interest. and then the shipping cost adds another $25...

Hey! The Arkscan does the same thing, but a little different built then the Zebra ones. Arkscan do have a lot of videos on youtube, they show how to set it up, clean printhead, print labels on all major platforms and so on, check it out! Have a good one :)

can you edit the labels? I got 2 cases of 4.5" x 3" thermal labels with 8000 per box for free, but is there a way to get it to print smaller to fit that size label?

No. Not many thermal printers support phones. You will have better luck if you have a android, some printers work with those. But iphone is pretty hard to find printers working with. Some videos on this channel go over that tho.

This printer is on ebay however in the details it only says printer cable, does it need the power cable or will it turn on with the other cable? If it does need the power cable where can i find one separately ? Sorry if this is a dunb question 😅

Hello, you do need a Power supply. Printing barcodes etc eats some Power, and just USB can't supply that. Costs about 10-15 bucks on amazon - this should work just fine. amzn.to/2ZuA99X

I bought a Zebra LP2844 and like it but sometimes the print dialog box on my Mac says “unable to push data to the printer.” Could it be that the printer power supply is the wrong size? What is the proper power supply to use with the LP2844?
@thecollegepicker
4 жыл бұрын
I don't think that would be a power supply issue, but they use 19v 3.25a I think. It should be on the bottom of the printer.

Does this printer work with a chromebook? I don't think any label printer works with chromebooks but before I get rid of it, I just want to verify. If no, I'll buy a laptop, what cheap laptops such as windows do you recommend? I can't find any cheap ones and if I do, I dont know if the label printers will require dvd drives to install software so I get stuck there as I have a seiko printer that requires that. I'd appreciate your feedback. Thanks

Hi! 🙂 Will this printer work with Windows 11? An eBay seller says that the software isn't compatible with the Windows 11 update in their item description, and it sounds like the printer wasn't tested because of that.

I use a HP m15w wireless laser printer 🖨 through bluetooth or wifi. I love it for many reasons. I like that its small does not take too much space. That it does not use that much ink it only prints in black. Ink cartridges for it are cheap to buy on ebay. And that I can set it up and use it to print anything using only my iPhone no laptop or computer needed or required. I like that I can use it to print anything other than just shipping labels like the thermo printers. With the HP phone app I can easily make copies of anything using my iPhone or any smartphone!
