All Zebra Card Printers have information built into the Windows driver that will allow you to view the currently installed driver version and firmware version for the unit.  For all printer models you will have to access to driver or Printer Properties to view this information and depending on your Windows operating system, you will have to find the printer to access the properties.  If you run Windows XP, you will find you printer driver within Printers and Faxes (Click on the Start Menu, Click Control Panel, Find Printers and Faxes). On Windows Vista you will find your printers list through the Hardware and Sound (Click the Start Menu, Click Control Panel on the Right toolbar, and you should see "Printer" under Hardware and Sound).  On Windows 7 you should find Devices and Printers right in the Start Menu on the right hand toolbar.  If not, go into Control Panel and find Devices and Printers.  Windows 8 will have Devices and Printers within Control Panel as well. Each product line has a slightly different method of accessing this information and is outlined below.
 

Zebra Value Class and Performance Class Printers (P100i, P110i, P110m, P120i, P330i, P330m, P430i):

Once you have accessed the printer properties using the instructions above, you will see a "Device Settings" tab, click on this tab.  Once in the tab you will see several options which allow you to view information about the printer.  Below are the instructions for finding the driver and firmware version on the Value Class and Performance Class Zebra Card Printers:

To view the driver version, click on "About..." and then click the Properties button that appears to the right and you will see your driver version listed:
