USB Printers

Well I'm pretty much at the end of my rope. And this is obviously the best place to go when it comes to that.

We recently moved my work to a new building. We have a computer (my computer I guess) that I do all the shipping from. We have 2 different label printers. One is a DYMO and one is a Zebra Thermal 2844 from UPS. They are both connected to the PC by USB. Easy right? Wrong. Neither printer will print properly since the move. They each print out half a label, and then one will just stop, the other will turn off (read: usb disconnect noise) and then reconnect a second later.

I updated the drivers, I deleted the USB ports from the device manager so they could be re-recognized during a reboot... I called the company that makes the Zebra printer.

I'm out of ideas! Thanks in advance.

Well UPS sent us a new printer yesterday, and I hooked that up and it's working fine.

The DYMO is just called 'LabelWriter Duo', no series number for this bad boy. I don't even get the BG music on this dinosaur. We're running windows 7 32bit, the excellent tech at DYMO sent me windows XP 64 bit drivers. Oh so helpful.

Unfortunately the DYMO is still being difficult. Such a simple thing, ya know?

Thanks for your help, SoM.
