Resolution / Answer

Find your printer's latest driver by visiting Support and Downloads: Printers Support.
Then, you can continue to install your printer with ZDesigner Driver v5 or v10 to add the printer.
In case the above does not work, then you can do the following:

Procedure:

Navigate to the Windows Control Panel and select Devices and Printers.
Click Add a printer.
Click The printer that I want isn’t listed.
Select the Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings option and click Next.
Select Create a new port and select ZDesigner Port Monitor from the drop-down menu.
Enter the printer IP address in both the empty fields, click OK, and click Next.

NOTE If you need help finding the IP address, refer to Choosing & Assigning an IP Address Using Zebra Setup Utilities (ZSU) article.
From the left panel, select ZDesigner and select the printer model on the right. Click Next.

IMPORTANT! Do take note of the printer resolution expressed in dpi.

Optionally, change the printer's name and click Next.
From Printer Sharing, select the option that fits your needs.
Click Print a test page to test the communication between the computer and your printer. Click Finish to end.
