99% of the time it's an issue with a missing or, in my case, improper driver. If you do have a device issue (an entry with a yellow exclamation point icon), particularly under the "Ports" or "Universal Serial Bus controllers" headings, you need to get it taken care of. If you have a clean Device Manager go down to the Second Things Second section below. The first time I looked at mine there was a PCI Serial Port entry with a yellow exclamation point icon underneath the Ports heading. Here's screen shot of a clean Device Manager window: Click on Device Manager on the left pane and your device headings will appear in the right pane. To pull up Device Manager your right-click on the This PC in File Explorer and select Manage from the pop-up menu. You do this by checking Device Manager to make sure there are no errors. The first thing you want to check is to make sure your PCI bus (which includes your USB ports) driver is up to snuff. This in fact was the reason my SLP printer wouldn't print a complete label.

I spent countless hours playing around with the Smart Label software application but one of my problems ended up not having anything to do with the printer or the software but was an issue with my PC. At times this behavior was intermittent where I might get one label to print OK and at other times no labels would print at all. In my case, the label would start to print but then stop and I'd have to manually flush the queue.
