After almost a year of using a laser jet to print 8.5x11 labels, folding then, putting them in pouches...we finally bit the bullet and bought a thermal printer - thanks to some amazing help and suggestions from this community!

My Zebra GX420D showed up today, and I was super excited to set it up and get it going!

And then...

Oh. FedEx Ship Manager is Windows only. Literally everyone in our company has a Mac, and lots of times our employees just make labels at home, from their MacBooks.

Is my only option here to buy a cheap Windows laptop and keep that as our sole label-making computer? I saw some 3rd party drivers online for about 100 bucks per license, which seems insanely extravagant. Or should I be trying to install a virtual drive on everyone’s Mac, and running Windows / Ship Manager on there? That also seems insane.

Any advice, other than returning our new Zebra and going back to the silly way of doing things?

Thanks in advance...
