Label printing problems

by sootie607 . Updated 15 years, 5 months ago

I hope someone can help me!
We use Zebra printers (i work in the manufacturing industry) to print labels with barcodes. The Zebra printer will print different amounts of labels (from 1 – 11) then stop for 1 – 5 minutes and then continue. This is a massive problem if when we are printing hundreds of labels a day.
I’m using the following hardware and software;

Windows 2000 server SP4
Zebra Z6M + printer with Seagull Scientific drivers connected to LAN with Axis 5550 print server.
100 Mbps LAN
Streamserve EDI software

I’ve tried the following;
Changing the print server
Changing the print drivers
Attaching the printer locally to the server
Changing spool settings eg print directly to printer etc
Changing cables and ports on the LAN
Changing the spool folder location
Many other things!!

I think it must be something to do with the Windows print spooler. Anyone any suggestions? Sort this out and I’ll buy you a beer!

Cheers
