I am using a Windows XP machine and I'm printing to a Zebra Printer using the "Generic / Text Only" driver.
I have a printer setup, in the Windows, Printers and Faxes area. It is called "Generic / Text Only", and is driven by the generic text driver. All the settings are set to default, except for the port. I have it set to a Standard TCP/IP Port with the IP of the printer.
I'm able to ping and print to the printer just fine. Unless, I change the name of the printer in anyway. If I change the name and then try to print, the formatting gets thrown off. It will either insert random blank spaces within the text or only prints within a 1 inch area. Printing characters over top of each other.
I have 3 different Zebra printers I would like to setup on my PC and have each named accordingly for ease of selection. Instead of having to go in and updated the IP each time. I even tried setting up a new printer and just using the default name supplied by the Print Wizard, "Generic / Text only (Copy 1)", and I still got the incorrect format.
Has this been seen by anyone else? Is it a driver bug that has been resolved and can be fixed with an update? Any suggestions?
