- Dec 15, 2010 NRGSoft has a software that is about $299. This is a lot cheaper than the $749 price. In the latest OSX you can manually install that Thermal 2844 with the Zebra EPL 1.3 driver. However, you will experience a epl2 warning.
- Aug 14, 2019 Mac OS is different than the OS used on iPads, so the drivers won’t work there. However, you can see as to whether or not it’s possible to hook the printer up the iMac and “share” the printer on the network. At least on Android it’s possible to print to a networked (shared) printer.
- Apr 14, 2009 Need OS X print drivers for the Zebra Z4000 thermal label printer. Does anyone have a working solution cheaper than this $225 driver from Peninsula Group in UK? CUPS does not support zebra (and besides, I need some product-specific functionality.

I am having some problems with snow leopard and my Zebra LP-2844 label printer. Its a real one not a eltron or anything. It even has a built in jetdirect type networking (print over network) connection in addition to USB.
I had this working fine in Ubuntu 9.10 useing a *.ppd type driver.
I have used couple of different drivers, It prints a test page fine, Mac OS installed it, seems to know what it is, but not in the correct paper size. Can't seem to find any advanced settings. The system settings control panel won't allow me to even add a different paper size, let alone change label speed or gap space between labels? (none of the settings usually available for a nice thermal label printer are there).

pardon my spelling, and I hope this is not viewed as a rant, I just find this frustrating and have not found out much of anything searching the internet. Since I went ahead and started migrating from my Ubuntu desktop machine over to a macbook pro A1278 I didn't expect this sort of problem.
Anyone with any ideas? let me know, any advice would be appreciated of course.
I can do a dual boot with Ubuntu and OSX but seems silly to me to spend money on this laptop only to go to the trouble of installing and useing a free operating system to get my shipping needs met.
Is this a good question?

Thermal 2844 Software
We actually have a few of these in the office, but we run them from Windows machines. I'll ask around to see if anyone has tried running them on a Mac.

helpful guide, thank you, however it does not solve my problem. I wasn't specifc enough.
There is no native support within the system preferences for printing to adjust paper handling size, feed margins etc.
Features needed to control this type of printer. Most operating systems, have this support built in, so when printing shipping labels directly from online java based scripts etc.........it still doesn't work. Not without paying for some type of special program or something. So I stopped looking.

I am just going to keep using the existing system I was using, al thou it has it's problems, which I hope to resolve soon, for the type of work I am doing it seems to work the best for now.
You can print to the LP2844 using OSX with full control over the printer, at full speed and with no fuziness but you need to purchase a commercial driver.
On the LP2844 you may need to run it with a usb parallel adaptor from Sabrent as the built in USB port is a bit unreliable.
The details are here.
