Has anyone dealt with printing labels on a Zebra Printer. With 2 of my clients I have the same issue that I cannot use the full width of the label.

The label is automatically scaled to about 70% of it’s label size.

And whatever setting I do, I just does not use the full width of the label.

I have created reports in as well Dev Express as SSRS and both have the same problem. With DevExpress If I print my label on a HP Laserjet on A4, the label size is correct. If I print it to the Zebra printer the label is scaled to about 70%.

I have contacted Zebra and they told me that the paper size of the label is not correct, but I setup the paper size of the label correctly in Dev Express and in the printer driver itself (I’m getting a bit nuts of this)

The label size is 105 x 83. I already tried to change every single parameter step by step, but the label is still scaled to about 70%. The last attempt was a bit bigger but still 3-4 centimers of the label is not used.

 

Preview in DevExpress
Page setup in Dev Express
Paper size setup in printer driver

And this is the final result
