Who should avoid this driver?

In the world of specialized printing—particularly in labeling, barcoding, and small-scale industrial printing—the Chaser Ch-e80 has carved out a reputation for reliability and efficiency. However, even the most robust hardware is useless without the correct software bridge between your device and your computer. That bridge is the Chaser Ch-e80 Print Driver.

Whether you are setting up a new warehouse labeling system, a retail point-of-sale printer, or a home-based shipping station, understanding this driver is critical. This 2,000+ word guide will walk you through everything you need to know: from download sources and installation steps to advanced troubleshooting and performance optimization.


Visit the official Chaser website’s “Support” section. If the site is down, reputable driver repositories like MajorGeeks or the manufacturer’s regional distributor (e.g., StarTech, POSUSA) often host clean copies. Never use auto-installer “driver updater” software.

By 2005, Chaser Technologies had declared bankruptcy. Their website vanished, and with it, the official source code and installer for the Ch-e80 driver. This created a crisis for thousands of warehouses still using the robust, mechanically simple printers. Without the driver, Windows XP (and later 7) refused to communicate with the hardware.

This is where the story of the Ch-e80 driver transcends typical hardware support. The driver became "abandonware." Technicians were forced into two camps: Virtualization and Reverse Engineering.

Inside the driver’s “Device Settings” tab:

  • Size: ~15–30 MB.
  • Dependencies: .NET Framework 3.5/4.x (for configuration tools).
