Hi I solve this problem with a program called CardFive this program provides several drivers inside when you install it in Windows 7. I install CardFive 6.3. Note. this program don´t install a printer driver in Devices and Printers in Windows 7, only provides you a interface to print cards with your Eltron p310 and you can choose other printer models discontinued. My printer interface is parallel and works in Windows 7 With CardFive 6.3 pro.

Go to Zebra Technologies - Zebra printers, supplies, software and solutions

Choose model P310F on the drop down located on the downloads page. That driver supports the P310

My Eltron P310 card printer pulls in the ribbon alongwith the card, past the print head. Thanks for any advice

Hello, Jim.

There is no Vista or Windows 7 driver on the Zebra website for your printer. There is only a driver for Windows XP through Windows 98.

Here's the link:

Apparently, Zebra didn't create more current drivers.

The reason in incorrectly established drivers, or in the printer. Better certainly to give to repair.

Have you checked the printer driver itself, it might have knocked itself onto Offline and you might be able to change it back to Online.

If not, the other thing is to try uninstalling the printer driver and reinstalling again.

The "i"suffix was introduced in around 2005 to try to stop patent infringements on the printer ribbons. They introduced a chip on the spool that feeds back to the printer. The chip has to be the correct coding for the badge of the printer. Zebra P330i printers are essentially the same as Javelin J330i and Polaroid p85igc but have three different part numbers for their YMCKO ribbon. You can run any monochrome ribbon on them because the mono ribbons have no chip.....not much profit for the brand owners. YMCKO however is not interchangeable. Find a Polaroid dealer for the full colour ribbon.

Go to start->control panel-> add new hardware -> printer, then follow instructions
use the have disk option.

Use Photoshop. Also their are Color Profiles you can install on you computer. n windows
Rt click an Goto properties/Settings/advanced.
THe last tab is where you can install them.

They will only allow you to match you screen to the printer color better.. Google where and what on you need.
In Card5 id I remember. There should be a setting that comes up when the print is initiated.

You should be able to set card of to control the color and not the printer. Or visa verso.

Also you can get a Solid Resin Green Ribbon.

Make sure your image is only 1 page.
Possibly the printer is printing the second page blank.

I know you are most likely printing a single card.
But some times LARGE fonts or LARGE images will print as 2 Pages.

Check it out.

Let me know.

I am a bit unlear of the QUestion Here.

But let me say it sounds as if it it tring to print in color.
The back and forth motion is what tells me that.

Try looking for an option in printer driver Graphics settings which prohibits black panel printing
