A label printer (a Citizen CL-S521) prints correctly when jobs are sent over the network via the print agent, but when printing the same labels via a direct USB connection, the job appears in the local print queue on the workstation yet the printer never actually prints anything.

Answer

Switching to the NiceLabel driver for that printer, with the 'Always use driver settings' option enabled, resolved this specific symptom — a USB-connected label printer accepting jobs into its local Windows queue but silently failing to actually print them is often a driver-configuration issue rather than a connectivity problem, and forcing driver settings to take precedence (rather than letting the application's own print settings override them) can be the fix for this class of USB label-printer problem.
