If I edited the Advanced Options of the Printer that uses "ZDesigner EPL" and manually change the driver that it uses, test pages will no longer print.Īny advice? I'm tearing my hair out on this.
Now there are two Printer devices, and test pages from either one works. If I power cycle the printer, ZDesigner EPL is installed again (even though I supposedly removed it entirely in previous step). At this point the test page does not print. So there is only one printer showing under Devices. I then re-install one of the ZPL drivers and add a printer using it. I have used the Print Server section under Computer Management to uninstall all printer devices and uninstall all the driver packages.
However as soon as I reboot the machine or printer, Windows will immediately install the original ZDesigner EPL driver. If I then uninstall the original EPL Printer Device, test page from new driver still prints. Windows lists the print within the same icon under Devices and Printers (combining because they both use the Virtual USB port, apparently). Upon installation, a test page from a device using either of these drivers prints. I want to use a driver that uses the newer ZPL printing language, either by ZDesigner or Seagull Scientific. That driver I assume was left over from Windows XP, since it happened right away.
On first connection, Windows automatically installed a ZDesigner driver that uses the old EPL printing language. I have a Zebra GC420d thermal printer connected via USB to my Windows 7 Pro workstation, which I recently upgraded from XP.
