Use the link on the right-side titled “ZP-450 Drivers” 
This is the LP-2844 driver, it is identical to the ZP-450 driver but has better compatibility with all shipping 
programs.  
Installation: 
-Do not plug in the printer until the driver has been installed.  
-Use the link above to download the Zebra LP-2844 driver. 
-Click Install Printer from the guide (do not plug in printer yet). On the Select Printer 
Screen, scroll down and install the printer as the ZDesigner LP 2844 
-Change the printer name to Zebra ZP-450 
-Keep the port as LPT1 (we will change this later on) 
-Complete the driver installation 
-Load a roll of labels into the printer, plug in the USB and power cables, make sure that the 
switch on the back of the printer is switched to the ON position. 
-The printer will have a solid red light on top, it will feed out one or two labels, and the light 
will switch to a solid green.  
-From the Start Menu, click the Devices and Printers screen.  Right click the Zebra ZP-450, 
and select Printer Preferences.  Adjust the label size to reflect the labels that you will be 
using.  Adjust the darkness to 15.  
-Now go back to Devices and Printers, right click the Zebra ZP-450 and select Printer 
Properties.  Select the tab labeled Ports, scroll to the bottom until you see the available USB 
ports.  The ZP-450 was your most recent USB plug-in, so it will be the USB port with the 
highest number next to it.  Select that port and click apply.  Now go to the tab labeled 
General, and click Print Test Page.   
-Once a test label prints, you have completed the installation. (If a test label doesn't print, 
you have chosen the incorrect port, and will have to go back to the port screen to change it) 
-If you are using this printer for shipping with UPS, FedEx, PayPal, Ebay, Amazon, Endicia 
or Stamps.com, you will choose the printer as the Zebra LP-2844 in the program settings.
