If you need a 4x6 Sample Label - fulfilledmerchant.com/need-a-...
Missing the power supply? -amzn.to/314IIJ1
I have had a few people reach out to me about chromebook printing with a thermal 4x6 label printer. After hours of researching and tinkering I think I have found a solution and created a guide that hasn’t been published yet. Here are the steps below.
0) Before anything give the video a thumbs up and subscribe =)
1) Get a Zebra LP2844, NOT THE LP2844Z model, not the UPS LP2844 (I have not tested it with the UPS model and it most likely will not work) - Review of the printer here - • The Best Thermal Print...
2) Calibrate your printer for the 4x6 labels -
3) Download the correct .ppd file HERE - fulfilledmerchant.com/zebra-l...
The blog is new, and this post is terrible, but its a place to park the file for now.
4) Plug in printer, install with .ppd file you just downloaded
5) Print a test 4x6 label, or change your settings on ebay, etsy, poshmark, or whatever for 4x6 and generate a shipping label and print.
6) Comment below any struggles, success, other ideas or 4x6 printers you have been able to get to work on Chromebook.
Thanks for watching =)
These printers take this type of cable -amzn.to/32LuyLK
Usually you can buy one at a thrift for cheap or find it around the house =)

YOURS STOPPED WORKING RANDOMLY? UPDATE: We think that Google Chrome updated and it changed the default quality setting to 600 dpi, change it to 203 dpi and it should fix the problem.

I received a chrome book for Christmas for my business and last night while trying to hook my printer up I’ve discovered that just about every thermal printer doesn’t sync with chrome book.

I have used a Zebra ZP450 as my label printer but could not figure out how to connect. With your PPD file, it was as easy as you said and it does work and scale perfectly on the ZP450. Thanks again and keep up the awesome vids. Jon

@solutionsgem
@solutionsgem 3 жыл бұрын
@@JJstram84 You don't need a different ppd file. the GK420d printer works with the LP2844 ppd file because it understands both EPL and ZPL printer language. The LP2844 printers understand EPL printer language. If you have to have the ZPL ppd file we can sell it to you or you can search online on how to make one. It is easy but will take too long to explain. You do not need it if you are only printing shipping labels. We have tested the LP2844 ppd file with the GK420d and it works perfectly. You will only need the ZPL ppd file if you are sending ZPL labels directly to the GK420d printer.

Do you think it is a problem with the printer, the chormebook or the setting?🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi College Picker! We just bought this model after watching your video. Chromebooks doesn't want to save the (more settings options) for the Zebra. We have to keep manually changing the settings to the 230 dpi / 4 x 6" / 96. Is there a way we can permanently fix this? Our Chromebooks printer settings won't let me edit as easily as Windows. Thanks in advance!

Does this work for other thermal printer or just the Zebra one? I can't find one on Amazon that I can get to run on chromebook.

Do you have a PPD file for GOOJPRT portable printer? I've tried everything to get it to work by Bluetooth but CB doesn't recognize it. However CB does find it by USB cord. I tried the Zebra PPD file it prints it but not in English. The generic ones that CB comes with same issues prints but not in English or right format. Same issue with all the Bluetooth printer apps. 😭

Hello, thank you for this very much useful information. Now i can use Zebra GK420d with my chromebook and it works. But it doesn't print continuously, a label with 2 pages - such as customs and postage label together - first page prints then waits like 5 seconds then prints the second page. Do you think if it is a setting issue ? Any suggestions? Thank you, all the best...

You are very welcome. I think the delay is normal data processing time for this printing method.

Wondering if anyone can help. I have TLP 2844 and for some odd reason it stopped working if I try printing more than 1 label. Say I have 4 pages to print, it will print page 1 and the top of page 2, then stop. And my chromebook says it couldn't reach the printer to print. If I do one page at a time it works, but my laptop keeps saying it couldn't print. It's a little annoying to have to print each page 1 by 1 and is time consuming when I have to print a lot of orders. Any help is appreciated.🙏
