Quick troubleshooting

If your test print failed or you can't print, try the following:

  • Make sure your printer and computer are online.

  • Make sure that Desktop Designer is installed on the computer you're printing from.

  • Make sure the computer you're printing to is connected to Loftware Cloud.

    Your Control Center must be connected to your printers.

  • Check the Printing preferences on the computer you're printing from. Control Center uses printing preferences from your printer drivers.

    See Setting up your printers.

    Note

    If you print labels on printers from multiple computers, Control Center uses printing preferences from your printer drivers.
