Should be doable though.Follow simple, clickable navigation to quickly and easily find comprehensive information on how to use FedEx Ship Manager Software to accomplish your businessвЂ™ shipping goals. I'm not really sure how I'd go about forcing this conversion to happen each time in Mac. My goal is still to figure out how to print clear images like windows does by default, that way, it should be font-independent and able to print anything at 203dpi. Windows was able to handle it anyway without a problem because windows apparently just sends prints over as RAW data (or some other type of non-text data) and creates a pixel-perfect image since it controls each pixel from the computer's software side and not the printer's (or at least that's my reasoning anyway).

The test text printouts I was doing on both windows and mac were not using the built in fonts of the printer. The printer only has basic fonts on it, so when something like Helvetica is used, it does print clearly, but again this is only for text and only supported fonts (other fonts print blurry). Well, I figured out why text sometimes prints clearly (for example in the test page printout) in Mac and other times not.

The windows test is there to show that the printer is capable of producing crisp images and not just crisp plain text.ДЄny help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

As you can see from the CUPS Test Page, the image is not very clear, but the text is. On windows, the same test prints perfectly clear solid black letters as it should.Д«elow are scans of what the ouput looks like of the CUPS test page printed from OSX and an identical native 4ењ† Word document printed on mac and on windows. I also tried making a 4ењ† native text only document in word and just printing that out in mac, and the image is faint and speckled with just text. I've tried printing identical images from Windows and it prints perfectly with both text and images. I've made sure that the paper size is correctly set to 4ењ† inch within OSX and I've even tried scaling images to the exact 203 dpi resolution and 4ењ† inch size that the printer uses, but I always get the same blurry printing result. I've gone into CUPS and made sure that the paper/media size are the correct 4ењ† inches.

I've tried a few other versions of the zebra.ppd driver that I found online on some ubuntu forums and all have given me the same result. If just printing black text, text usually shows up as more of a speckled gray. Whenever I try to print something from Mac OSX, I get very blurry images printed. I am able to print a test page from CUPS at 'localhost:631/' and the CUPS test page prints crystal clear text but the CUPS test image is a bit blurry. I set up the printer using the built in ZPL driver that is included in OSX 10.6.6 and higher. I've been trying to get my LP 2844-Z shipping label printer (Z means that it uses the ZPL language) to work with two machines, one with Snow Leopard, and one with Mountain Lion.
