Using a Zebra LP-2844 Printer with Paypal/eBay?

As we are trying to streamline our online business, we purchased a label printer with thermal cabiblities to save on ink. Little did we know that it would be a gigantic nightmare. Our first expeirence was with a Brother printer, which turned out to be not compatible with eBay. Decided with the Zebra after reading some great reviews, and it turns out it isn't natively supported by Zebra either. However, I have read of people that are using it successfully.


To install it, I just plugged it in and used the Native Zebra EPL2 drivers that are included with Mavericks OS.


However, now that I'm trying to actually print something with Paypal, I can't get the labels to print correctly. It won't all fit on one label, even if I change the setting to equal the label size of 4 x 6.


I did some research about CUPS, but am unsure if I'm supposed to use it to install ADDITIONAL drivers, or if it's just a way to tweak settings that aren't available in system preferences. I changed the default setting to 4 x 6 within CUPS, but it still doesn't fit on the labels in Paypal.


I've spent days now trying to get printing set up more efficently, and cannot figure this out. It is a huge nightmare.


Any suggestions (is there ANY native supported thermal printer that works with eBay paypal?), should I use Endicia, is that a better option? Should I try installing additional drivers, if so from where? I'm just stumped at this point and in a little over my head.

OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
