eBay

Literally just had a episode now where I almost went out and bought a brand new printer.

I printed labels 2 days ago fine, changed nothing Same everything. Now today it was printing my labels in the corner of the page with about 10% of the label cut off.

I use brave browser, tried firefox and the results were worse label not even printing 95% blank page, sometimes printing 2 pages? What a mess

Seen some people from older archive posts were using a external program to manipulate the PDF to print properly. I ended up downloading Adobe Reader DC. This allowed me to center the shipping label the middle of the page and print properly. Worked fine and printed 100% correct.

I have no idea WTH was going on today. Glitch in the PDF? Ebay changed something? Let me know if you have had recent printing issues arise all of a sudden. I printed a test page fine on my printer no issues on the borders.

Im on a older legacy machine where all my auto updates are turned off so nothing changed on my machine. Including software on the machine I have marked to "ask to update".

Good news! - [at least for me as of now]

Started printed labels an hour ago [8am MT] with firefox and they did the top corner bit no matter what I did.

Then did next ID using chrome and same results.

Then a few minutes later did last batch on chrome and VOILA! - the auto open preview popup showed label in landscape and printed same.

Then sold something and had to print on foxfire and this time the auto popup, still set to landscape, showed the 'paper' with the long side down [landscape] and the label in wrong place [portrait], but after changing the setting back to portrait it displayed and printed right.

So maybe fixed?
