yes... no luck

Have you tried using a different port?

Control Panel > Printers and Devices

Right click on Printer Icon

Select Properties > Select Ports Tab

I there a checkmark in the box next to LPT Port?  Uncheck it.

Check USB

Click Apply, Ok

Yep... Been connected via usb to USB 001

What are the lights on the printer when you attempt to print?

Media does not advance

1. Check interface cable connections from computer to printer.

2. Make sure top cover is locked closed.

3. Check that labels are correct.

4. Verify media has print surface up for printing.

5. Printer has a syntax or command error.  Check program and resent print job.

■ Is the printer in pause mode?  If so, press the feed button.
■ If the status LED is on or flashing, refer to “What the Status LED is Telling You” on page 33.
■ Make sure the data cable is correctly installed.
■ A communications problem has occurred.  First, make sure that the correct communications port on the computer is selected.  Refer to “Communicating with the Printer” on page 15.

Smitty thanks for all your help, I gave the zebra setup utilities a 2nd try and for some reason it work.

I do have one more problem I can't seem to figure out, been fulling with landcape and auto and I can't get my labels to print correctly in portrait mode.

This is what they look like, how can I get the label to print vertically?
