Adding a second printer

Is there somewhere to add a second printer?

I typically use pirate ship for shipping labels.  Mainly because it gives me the option of printing using my desktop printer or my thermal label printer.  I would like to use ebay shipping more but cant find anywhere to get ebay to recognize my label printer.  This makes me print to a regular sheet of paper, cut the label out with scissors and then tape it to the package.. what a hassle. 

Ebay only gives me the option of printing using my Desktop.  Just trying to add a second printer..

Re: Adding a second printer

Are you trying to print to a thermal printer?  When you have the weight and dimensions correct, before you confirm and print the label, click the CHANGE link, and you can then select the 4 x 6 size label.

Re: Adding a second printer

Exactly. Thank you for that. Disneyshopper  I have never seen that page or link.  I always purchase the label and then go to print it and have no option but the default which is my desktop.  

On second thought.

I do choose the 4x6 option and then it prints it 4x6 through my Desktop in the center of a full sheet of paper.  Then I have to cut four sides and use tape.  As a result I just keep going back to Pirate,  Today I had a little spare time and thought I would try and figure it out.

I haven't printed to my 4 x 6 printer in ages.  I believe if you have the drivers installed, selecting the 4 x 6 option should send the label to your thermal printer.

Re: Adding a second printer

As Disney pointed out you do have to select the correct label format size in each application for the label you are going to use. 

 

As to what printer it prints to depends on a couple of things.  First is what printer is set as your Default Printer in your OS printing preferences and second what printer is set as the Target Printer in the application you are printing from.

 

If you set your browser to open PDF files with Adobe, which is best for ebay labels, you can select the Target Printer you want each time from the label preview window.
