Unlike USB connected printers, Ethernet printers will not be automatically detected, so you have to fill in everything as follows:
Address - The Ip address already assigned to your printer
Protocol: HP Jetdirect - Socket
Queue: leave blank
Name: Anything you want (but it must not remain blank or share the same name as other printers)
Location: optional, can be left blank
Then use: Choose a driver > Choose option Select Software, and in the Printer Software pop-up that shows up, we have to choose Zebra ZPL Label Printer
Press OK
-
You have now successfully installed your printer onto your computer!
