I need to print a shipping label but its not working for me

I need to print a shipping label for a courier.

I went through the process of box size and weight and contents and all the rest. I paid for it.

Then it comes to
'print label'
I'm able to view it for about a second and then it disappears.

I have my phone connected to the printer at work. The printing is not working for me. The printer is working. I don't have a printer at home and I don't have a laptop in work.

I know all of that is confusing. Basically I am trying to print from my phone but it's not working for me.

I am able to view other documents and pdf files in the printer but just not the shipping label. So the printer is working and my phone is connected.

Any help would be great. Is there any app that I can help me.

I was able to use Google drive before for that task but that doesn't seem to work any more. It's been a while since I was able to save to Google drive.

I finally got it printed.

Would normal printing paper do or does it have to be special printing paper like a sticker paper. I don't have access to sticker paper.

The label states I need to have a pouch or clear shipping tape.

I don't have any of these. Would I be able to use a clear zip lock bag or will I be able to pick up shipping tape easily in the city in a stationery shop.

i would use the bag then clear sellotape round each side to hold it on the package securely.

and yes any old paper will do

Thank you so much. This is a huge help. I'm losing so many days just to get it going.

What do I do to the invoices. Do they go in a zip lock bag too?

usually they go inside the package itself but photocopy them first just in case of any issues. also make sure courier collecting gives you a receipt. also take a quick photo of the package once its all ready to send with label clear on it.

The parcel is all sealed up. I could try and open it again tonight and stick the invoices in.

It's a private shipping. Sending a gift over seas.
