Hi,

So I'm using an linux server and trying to set up a zp505. I can get the server to talk to the printer, but the scaling is off for general printing, ups labels print horizontal on portrait, FedEx labels print blank. Using cups for installation. Works fine on windows.

Settings are 4x6 borderless, 300 dpi, epl 2 driver default print speed and darkness. Scale has been for fit to page or 100, has not worked for either.

I've tried a zpl driver but all the labels were blank. Same with epl1 drivers.

Any ideas?

Hi,

My partner got a dream job and now we're moving. I work for a small company that plans on expanding in the future. I put in my notice and my boss asked me if I wanted to work remotely. I said "Sure!". He then told me in a much nicer way to figure it out lol. So I am now IT coming from sales and order fullfilment.

I really just need to set up a small network to print from anywhere securely for 3 users (my boss, me, cfo) that has room to grow. I can't use remote desktop apps as we will need my current computer for an onsite individual.

I was thinking of using surfshark and open VPN to set up a dedicated IP to connect the office network. The problem is one of the label printers is like 15 years old and I have only figured out how to reliably connect it through usb001 port.

What am I missing? I'm new to all this and just kind of got thrown into the fire.

Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that we are using windows 11.

Edit 2: I got a lot of great advice. Thank you everyone!
