  2. Printer problem Zebra LP2844 4x6"

    Hi Linda,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    I‘m sorry to know that you cannot print labels from EBay with
    Zebra LP2844 4x6. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you and I will be happy to assist you.

    Please be informed that Zebra LP2844 is compatabile with Windows10 and refer the below link.

    This issue might occur due to outdated drivers. You may download the driver for the printer from the HP support website and if it is not available for Windows 10, download it for Windows 8.1 and install it in compatibility
    mode.

    Please refer the below article on “Make older programs compatible with this version of Windows” and check if that helps.

  3. Windows 10 Update now Zebra 2844 Printer Problems with Endicia Pro and Dazzle

    Got it "mostly working" now - call it 95%.

    Driver for the LP2844 Zebra is listed on the Zebra website as compatible with windows 7.

    So right clicking on the Dazzle software icon --> Properties --> Compatability Tab

    Inside there - check box next to "Run As" and select Windows 7.

    After a reboot - Zebra LP 2844 would print labels and not leave "data" in the print queue so the next label and the next label and so on will print.

    However, every now and then (every 4 or 5 days) - the printer queue will misbehave as documented earlier in the thread.

    I may try "Run As" Windows XP if it gets really annoying in the future.

    Zebra does not seem to be planning to update the driver software so this fix might be all we can do.
