Zebra printer connected to WiFi but not printing

Do this in the free app: Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com. No signup. Print one test through Browser Print so you skip the Windows queue.

Your Zebra printer is connected to WiFi but not printing. That is usually pause, a wrong print language in Windows, or a stale IP. Send one job from the free label maker with Browser Print so you skip the Windows queue.

Good to know: We do not manage your DHCP reservation. If the IP changes after a night off, Browser Print may need a refresh.

How to print when WiFi is up and the job is not

  1. Look at the lights. Pause, head open, or media out will take a job and print nothing.
  2. Cancel anything sitting in the Windows queue.
  3. Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com and print one label through Browser Print.
  4. If that works, keep using the browser path. If it fails, reprint a config label and check the IP.

Not connected to the internet

A Zebra does not need the public internet to print. It needs the same LAN as the computer (or USB). "Not connected to internet" on the printer menu is normal on many units.

Print to Zebra, or save a file

Print from the browser with Browser Print at the printer's DPI. If you are not on that printer today, download PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, or ZPL. JSON keeps the editable master.
