Hello, everyone...

Here's the problem -- if I execute the script and choose a so-called 'standard' printer, all goes well. However, if I choose the Zebra label printer, it seems that I never close printing -- I can see "spooling" in the Windows printer window, which never goes away. For fun, I dropped a "put "Printing Closed" after the close printing command, and it never executes...

So here's my code - it's just a little test script to figure out a few things:

on mouseUp
-- set the printerName to "ZDesigner LP 2824"
open printing with dialog
-- revPrintField "printerPrep"
revPrintField the name of field "printerPrep"
close printing
end mouseUp

Ideally, I'm hoping to be able to print bar codes and inventory tags from this puppy, but I'm concerned at this point. Any input?

Zebra label printers are great for the small business. However, if they're used in areas where users like to fiddle with settings and push big shiny buttons, you can find yourself run ragged trying to continuously reset them to factory defaults or your preferred business settings.
Please follow the steps to set it up :-
Step 1: power reset
Switch the printer off using the switch at the back near the power socket. Give it two seconds, then switch it back on.

Step 2: reset to factory defaults
Hold down the single round button on the front panel. The indicator light will start a flash sequence: 1, 1-2, 1-2-3, and so on. When it flashes four times, release it. This resets the printer to factory defaults.

Step 3: Label width calibration
Hold down the button until the light flashes five times, then release it. This will make the printer enter label width calibration. It will print a series of widths, getting wider each time, on a label. When the printed width matches the label width (or your preferred setting), tap the button once to lock it in.

Step 4: All other calibrations
Hold down the button until it flashes twice, then release it. This will run an automatic set of calibrations.

I think applying those steps your issue will be solved if not please let me know i will provide other resolution.
