I told her that I was running Linux, so I couldn&#8217;t run their software. No problem, she said, their software runs only under Windows, but they have many Mac customers who use their web-based service. And, she told me when I asked, their site provided the labels as downloadable PDFs rather than using a server-side script to send the label directly to my printer. So I signed up, logged on to the web site, signed in, and promptly got an error message that I was running an unsupported OS. Crap. So I changed the user agent to tell their site I was running Mozilla 26 under Windows. I was then able to use the site, until I tried to print a label. It then told me that I needed to install a plug-in and to click the icon to install it. No icon was visible, of course.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">So, at least until my Windows laptop arrives, I&#8217;m stuck trying to generate labels on the USPS site. Sometimes that works, but very seldom. Meanwhile, I have kits stacking up in the shipping queue. I&#8217;m going to try wiping out everything Chrome has stored and see if that&#8217;ll let me generate labels.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 65%; height: 3px; font-family: Arial;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>08:15 &#8211; Yesterday, I signed up for stamps.com after talking with one of their reps.
