The 2 printers use different command languages:
105SL = ZPL
2844 = EPL
So the file for the 105SL will not work on the 2844.
You would need a 2844-Z to be able to use the same file.
The error message suggests you have some variable defined in your format that would not be available outside of ZDesigner, such as a Date field that ZDesigner would pull from the system.
Any fields defined as counter fields, database fields etc. will prevent export to printer function from...
Try setting the cutter mode to 'Delayed Cut' using ^MMD and then sending ~JK when you want the cutter to cut.
Also, check the Zebra website to make sure your printer has the latest firmware in case this feature is not in your version.
Zebra's label design software 'Zebra Designer' will probably do what you want. It is free from their website (not the Pro version) and supports JPG, BMP graphics files amonst others.
The font is stored in DRAM since this is what's specified in the ~DT command. R: is the DRAM memory. You could change this to store it permanently in the FLASH memory by changing it to E:
~DTE:FONT__,21124 ...
You can use the following commands to get a list of just fonts that are stored in...
When the USB printer is plugged in and powered up, Win XP should run 'USB Printing Support'. You should be able to see this in the Device Manager under USB Controllers. This should be running before you install the driver for the printer. Do you see this in the Device Manager ?
The PSII is not a PCI card, it connects to the parallel port of the printer and can connect directly to a switch. It's powered by the printer and is DHCP enabled by default so just plug it in and go. Configuration is easy via web pages.
I don't see that problem. I would suggest setting the defaults on the printer and try the again. Set the defaults by holding down the feed button until the LED blinks 4 times.
The PrintServer II will work on both those models. I assume you mean LP2844, not LP2488??
Look at the PDF brochure on this page and see the compatibility matrix.

You have the Label Length command set to 500 (LL500) which is 2.5". Change it to 160 and it should give you the 0.75" you want.

Zebra has their own external printserver that works on their current printer models. It plugs onto the parallel port so as long as your printers have a parallel port you should be ok. Setup of the printservers is easy via web pages or the software that comes with the printserver.

EPL commands require a lf termination. cr is optional.
Also, it's good practice to send a cr/lf first.
Change the following line and see if it helps.
.Output = vbCrLf & Text2.Text & vbCrLf

The Zebra driver has a passthrough function.
Try embedding your code in ${...}$
The driver will pass the code directly to the printer without bitmapping it.
E.g. ${^BY2,2.0,100^FO0,0^B2N,100,Y,N,N^FD12345678^FS}$

Send the command to list the graphics in the printer (GI) If it is not listed, then there is a problem in the files you copied to the printer. Ensure the PCX is only 2 color. Ensure there is enough memory in the printer to store the graphic. This will be shown on the listing.
A common mistake...
