Zebra Printers Gone Wild! (Problems with label printer using Lanham eShip)
Has anyone worked with Zebra label printers (and Lanham eShip)?
I just set up two new desktop computers in our Shipping Department using the same Zebra ZT410 label printers we have been using for years. Our Zebra printers print direct transfer (no ribbons), but they kept defaulting back from direct transfer to thermal transfer in the middle of a print run. I installed updated drivers and that appeared to fix that issue, but now sometimes after a print job, the next print job will queue and not print until we reboot the computer.

Yes, I’ve had this exact problem with this exact printer, but not with Lanham E-ship. We’re using Insight Works and Dynamic Ship and connecting to networked printers through Printnode. I’m not sure how much of a difference that will make to the solution since it sounds exactly the same.
In my case this had to do with networked printers and some default settings at the network level. It turns out you can modify the settings on the printer itself, and on a specific machine, but the network settings override both.
I had to get my helpdesk team to update the default settings for paper size, orientation, and thermal transfer settings on the network which finally made it stick for me. If you’re not networked then you should be able to update the printer settings from the machine it’s plugged into.

Yes we have similar setup with Zebra printer and Lanham Eship, but this issue you are having reminded me of a workaround that we did before and that is to set up in task scheduler a job to auto restart the print spooler at specific time interval (so you won’t have to restart the PC). Not exactly the best solution but something to consider if you haven’t gotten it figured out.
