Zebra Printer set up with Mac OS

Just purchased the Zebra ZD410 and am at a complete loss as to how to set it up with my Macbook. I'm running Mac OS X.  When I am on the Zebra site, there are drivers for Windows. Has anyone installed this label printer running a Mac?

RESOLVED: Zebra does not have a driver to support Mac. You must install CUPS. A quick google search will show you how to do this. After successfully connecting with the Zebra printer, however, I had printing issues. You have to do a lot of trial and error with your print dialog box to get the UPC codes to print properly. It’s not as simple as selecting the label size and hitting “print” unfortunately. But after figuring out the settings that would work best for me I saved this as my printer setting for UPC labels so I can select it easily each time.

here is a guide on how to add the printer to your mac.  I have no experience with this so I can't confirm.

 

if that doesn't work just google Zebra ZD410 mac and there are lots of results and videos.

Zebra has this article which describes in detail the configuration steps for Mac:

hello everybody, I am looking for help on how to connect my square for retail POS system with the zebra ZD 410 printer to print the barcode labels. The issues I’m running into are as follows:

 

1)I cannot print directly from the Square website on my MacBook to print it.

 

2) I cannot print from the iPad through the zebra set up utilities app. It is not working and the Bluetooth connectivity is not very strong. How do I reliably connect square apple and the ZD410 for these barcodes?

Hey @Artofthesock! Take a look at the Best Answer on this thread. Hopefully this helps. Feel free to tag any of the sellers you see above if you have additional questions on the set up. I'm sure they'd be able to help even more since they've gone through the ZD410 setup!
