Printer Nightmare

ARRGH!!!

I have a zebra lp2844 printer, I am using Sage to print labels, and they are coming out upside down, on my old PC I used to be able to press rotate 180, print a test page and then it would print the other way around, doing it on this new pc doesn't make it work.

Is there something I have missed out? Sage prints direct to the printer withou bieng able to change the settings

Turn your printer round the other way.

You'll need to log onto the server and change the Zebra's printing properties. Tag printers are the work of the devil btw.

ARRGH!!

I dug out my old PC and it still works fine, I have decided to use the old drivers, but the new drivers are still lurking, I have tied to find them in device manager after changing the env variables, but it doesn't show the printer there!!!

any ideas how to remove them permanently.

Chiz, the printer is attached to this computer on lpt1, so it doesnt work.

Jamoor, We use hundreds of the lp2844 printers in work and there are two places you need to set the reverse 180 degree print option.
In general tab you have printer preferences and in advanced tab there is printer defaults.
Depending on the driver version it will either be in the first expandable menu or else it will be under advanced setup,miscellaneous.
