This article outlines the steps necessary to add a network label printer to a workstation in the Student Mail Center.

Setting up the new printer

This document focuses on setting up a printer from scratch on a freshly deployed system. The process can be the same for replacing a printer on an existing workstation. However, it would be necessary to remove the existing printer first.

• Un-package the printer and connect it to power and networking. The correct VLAN for the printer is VLAN 8. There are currently DHCP reservations as follow:
  • host D9N233201135 {
            hardware ethernet 60:95:32:09:9F:4B ;
            fixed-address 137.142.8.53;
    }
    host D9N233201165 {
            hardware ethernet 60:95:32:09:B0:C7 ;
            fixed-address 137.142.8.54;
    }
• Download the driver from the Zebra site:
  • ​​​​​​
  • Visit https://zebra.com/downloads and select the printers option from the available selections
  • Type in the model number of the printer. In this case, ZD621. Notice that the screen shows the available options for the ZD621 printer. Select the option for the ZD621 Series Support. 
  • Select the option for Drivers from the ZD621 support page.
  • Select the option for the Windows printer driver V10
  • The license agreement must be accepted before downloading the file.  Once the download is complete it will be in a folder of choice as shown in the example below.
    • 
  • Once the file is downloaded it can be used to install the driver. The system will un-package the file to a root folder and then automatically run the installer. It is recommended to right click the file and run this as an administrator. The images below outline the process
