I updated this article with a simpler installation if you’re just on Mac. Double bonus: Printer installation works well with Endicia too.

Couldn't believe it. Totally saved my bacon. Thank you! (Now if only someone could find a way to read the weight from a USB Mettler-Toledo PS60 scale via the command line...)

Even though you have the LP2844 without the -Z, this setting will work perfect. The 4.0"x6.0" is the size of the labels you should be using. You can find blank ones on eBay by searching for thermal labels. Make sure to look for "unmarked" ones, that do not contain a company's logo, such as UPS, which would not be allowed by USPS.

I am having roughly the same issue with my new Mac mini... I use the LP2844 to print shipping labels for USPS from PayPal. The printer works using the EPL2 software included in OSX 10.6.6 but it prints on what the printer thinks is 8.5"x11" paper, not 4x6". Might you have any advice? Thank you again.
