The problem I am running into is that Parallels is not recognizing this device. I am using Parallels which I think is a good financial investment. That is almost the price of a cheap windows laptop that will do the work for free. I refuse to pay $299 for software then pay more money for their validation software to validate my addresses.
I used the trial version of NRGSoft and I personally did not like it as it could not recognize two of my customer's addresses. If we can figure out anything I will let you know. I am taking my 2844 today to some friends that are pretty good with software to see if they can create some work around for me. However, you will experience a epl2 warning.
In the latest OSX you can manually install that Thermal 2844 with the Zebra EPL 1.3 driver. This is a lot cheaper than the $749 price. NRGSoft has a software that is about $299. I'm hoping that someone of you will open my eyes to a new possibility. To summarize, Endicia's software prints great labels, printing from eBay or UPS's site has not been satisfactory thus far. I select 4"圆" paper in landscape mode and then either "scale to fit" or an appropriate reduction percentage with "center image". Both out of scale and overpriced due to lack of competition.Īs for formatting the image, that has not been a problem.
Third-party solutions exist, but are pricey, ranging from $250 for one driver to $749/year for a shipping software solution that integrates with UPS, etc. I was beginning to suspect Preview as being the culprit, but really need more data from you other users before drawing any conclusions. The image is also cut off on the bottom and left side in portrait mode. That might work.Īnother weird thing is that when I grab and print from Preview on an HP 5740 or 2210 the image comes out with parts that are green- also unscannable. I haven't tried right-clicking the image and printing yet.
My experience is that with Endicia software, the labels print flawlessly, but when I grab the image from the UPS page or eBay and try and print from Preview, the image is of poor quality and UPS guy tells me it is unscannable.
