I am using QuickBooks Enterprise:Solution: Professional Services 23.0 hosted locally in an on-premise server and accessed via remote desktop. I am trying to print out multiple Barcode Labels from QuickBooks on my Laptop to a Zebra ZD421 printer via USB connection but it doesn't seem to work and doesn't even show any errors. I am only able to Print single Labels but when I select multiple Labels to print, it shows the progressive bar for print but nothing comes out and doesn't even show on the print Jobs. I am using Windows 10 so I tried reinstalling the updated driver but still the same. On a few occassions it showed in the print job but the status is stuck in pause. I tried restarting the print job several times but nothing happens. I will now try to setup on a Windows 11 PC and try printing again but please advise how I can resolve this issue. Refer attached for pickture of my setup.

I appreciate you laying out the details of your concern and attaching an additional screenshot to help us get on the same page with the barcode printing issue in QuickBooks Desktop. Please know that we value your ideas, and this isn't the kind of service we want you to experience.

Hi team,
Thanks for the response. I've already downloaded ERP Lite from the Apps Centre to install and test but I just have one question. According to your reply, you stated that currently, you're unable to print multiple labels. Please state the reason so I can understand and at least give feedback to my team. Also, is that statement referring to printing multiple different Barcode Labels or multiple copies of the same Barcode label?
Thanks for coming back, 0c9b6bf4a7d1.
If you are referring to printing multiple copies of the barcodes of your items directly from the Print Forms section on the File menu. See the screenshots below:
Just follow the steps below to help you accomplish this:

Thanks for explaining the steps to print multiple Barcode Labels. I've already tried this option several 100 times but the only option working is Print to File. As for printing directly to the printer, I am only able to print one Barcode Label. However, when I follow the steps to print multiple Labels, the print job loads and completes without any errors but there is no printout on the printer. I've done it multiple time and even reinstalled and reconfigured the printer several times but still no printouts. I'm starting to think its an issue with the printer but its a brand new Zebra ZD421 printer and I've followed all the necessary steps in the guide and on the Zebra Website to conduct installation and verified single test prints both from the Control Panel and from QuickBooks so please kindly check if the printer model stated is supported by QuickBooks and if there are any current issues or if there is a specific setting that I need to change to enable multiple barcode label printing. Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

The barcode feature in QB Desktop is just a pain. You should consider having a third-party inventory management app and downgrading your plan to Silver or Gold.
Thank you very much for the information and resources provided so far. I've gone through everything you guys provided and I've finally managed to find a proper workaround for my issue without any third-party software integration since all settings were verified.
For this option to work, the quantity of the item’s Barcode Label intended for printing needs to be specified in the printer settings, for my case, using the Zebra ZDesigner ZD421-203dpi ZPL Version 5.1.7.7414 instead of specifying it in QuickBooks Print Label dialog box. The new Version 8.6.5.26125 Driver no longer supports this option.
Hence, I have tested on both USB and Wired Network connections and verifed this option for multiple Barcode Label printing successfully.
Cheers and wish you all a safe and Happy New Year!!!
