Label printer isn't printing
Check the cable is plugged in, paper is loaded, and the printer isn't in sleep mode. Restart the printer and computer. If still stuck, reinstall the printer driver.
Label printers are simple devices but need correct drivers and power. When they won't print, it's a connection problem, paper jam, or driver issue.
