Hello. My experience is that with Endicia software, the labels print flawlessly, but when I grab the image from the UPS page or eBay and try and print from Preview, the image is of poor quality and UPS guy tells me it is unscannable.

I haven't tried right-clicking the image and printing yet. That might work.

Another weird thing is that when I grab and print from Preview on an HP 5740 or 2210 the image comes out with parts that are green-- also unscannable. The image is also cut off on the bottom and left side in portrait mode. I was beginning to suspect Preview as being the culprit, but really need more data from you other users before drawing any conclusions.

Third-party solutions exist, but are pricey, ranging from $250 for one driver to $749/year for a shipping software solution that integrates with UPS, etc. Both out of scale and overpriced due to lack of competition.

As for formatting the image, that has not been a problem. I select 4"x6" paper in landscape mode and then either "scale to fit" or an appropriate reduction percentage with "center image".

To summarize, Endicia's software prints great labels, printing from eBay or UPS's site has not been satisfactory thus far. I'm hoping that someone of you will open my eyes to a new possibility.

Best,
