Find or Locate the ZDesigner Printer Driver on the Website

The ZDesigner Driver is available from the Zebra Printers Support page.
Insert your printer model into the search bar.

 
You will be prompted to a list. Select support pages for your printer.



On the support page, select Downloads > Driver > click the arrow for download.

The driver is Microsoft-certified for use on Windows 7, 8, 10, 2008, Vista, 2003, and XP. The driver comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions (both are included in the download package).
 

When To Not Use a Zebra Printer Driver

An application may output the printer's native command language ZPL, EPL, or CPCL to create the label image. That output text should not be processed by a Zebra Printer Driver (i.e. do not use a ZDesigner Driver or 3rd party Zebra Printer drivers). For this scenario, you should use a generic text or raw driver to send data to the printer, that will allow the commands to reach the printer unaltered.

IMPORTANT! Important: If you are using a UPS printer with WorldShip or a FedEx Printer you will need to consult with those vendors for the proper driver for your printer.
