Online Labels Forum

I am using windows 8 (have tried with windows 7 as well)
The printer is a Zebra GC420T using zDesigner gc420t driver
Browsers I'm using are Chrome and Firefox
The web application which generates labels is Ordoro(from which they generate via endicia)

The symptoms:
When printing a pdf label from google chrome or firefox, the label is too blurry for our carrier to scan.
The printer has great quality when printing pdf's from other applications, the same for anything thats not pdf and printed from browser

I've tried foxit and sumatraPDF. Foxit prints correctly but my goal is to be able to print pdf within the browser. I've learned that in sumatraPDF and Microsoft edge's pdf viewer prints bad quality. I'm guessing that the lightweight pdf viewers lack the conversion which adobe, foxit, and all other applications are able to use to print the label correctly.


Possible work around?
If this is impossible I would like to know if anyone has been successful with a free pdf viewer which allowed you to automatically print pdfs when open. I was almost able to achieve this with foxit by editing a pdf's properties and adding the action -print when open- but the property sticks only to the pdf I added it to, I need to have all pdfs I open to have the print action.



Thank you

Thank you for the reply!

I found a solution using a program called Folder Agent and a plugin from chrome called Downloads Router. My labels now automatically save to a folder via Downloads Router and Folder Agent listens for any file in the folder to then print it with default PDF viewer. One click and theres my label.

The chrome plugin you suggested will be my backup plan, Thank you!

I just bought the yearly subscription to the label software but when i go to PDF to print the watermark is still there...I checked and it does show that my new code number has been accepted...please help asap...I need to print a label now!

I must have just been too impatient as it must have taken a bit to 'take'. It works fine now...thanks so much! This software works great for my purpose i just wish it wasn't so expensive. I might print 300-400 1" square labels a year! If I used it more I wouldn't complain...for my use...a one time charge would seem reasonable.

yes, I saw the other options but i have enough labels to probably last me 5 years and doubt i will need anything to help me get free software use so i went with the cheapest overall since i never know when i will need to make a label. I sell doll clothes and occassionally they come in and their tags have fallen off.
