Printing on a network printer
I am still not managing unfortunately.
So let me explain my problem
Attached is my excel sheet. I would like to print the "sticker ( code and barcode ) on a Zebra Printer which is remotely connected.
The reason i want to use network path or IP address is because the excel sheet will be accessed from 9 different PCs all of which have the printers saved with different names or ports.
On the other hand, if i "map" them it would "standardise" even i get new PCs in my offices.
So this is the info i have
The button " Print Labels on label Printer - IDU Office" is meant to print on Zebra printer connected on \\P305762\IDUDOTLP2824 but when i attempt to print via that network path it says invalid so i temporarily used the Zebra printer i have connected to my PC. And it is the correct path as when i use \\P305762\IDUDOTLP2824 in windows explorer it brings up the mentioned label printer .
The button "Print Labels on Xerox Printer - IDU Front Desk" is meant to print on the reception printer - and it does, only from one PC as i used the print name and port of the reception printer on that particular PC, but cannot divert to print on it from other PCs -
Kindly help hehe.
Thanks

\\P305762\IDUDOTLP2824 is the Print Server.
To obtain the name of the printer, you may enter this command at a command line:
