DYMO LabelWriter 550 Label Printer Bundle Label Maker with Direct Thermal Printing Automatic Recognition Includes 1 Roll Each: Address Labels Multipurpose

This is my third DYMO LabelWriter. They have all been good, I just have replaced them as newer models evolved. Hardly a day goes by that I don't use it for address labels, file labels, box labels or something. The labels are a bit pricey, but the capabilities and quality of this device make it worth it.

I have a custom windows application for testing products. When finished, the operator would have to hand write a cal label. I wanted to automate that by sending the label to a printer from an Excel sheet. Created the correct sized template in Excel for the label size, wrote the code to send it to the printer, and it works perfect.

I bought the Dymo LabelWriter 550 Printer because I have loved Dymo products in the past. But Dymo should stop selling this printer to Amazon, and Amazon should stop selling this printer to people like me. Like Mike Myers said in one of his Austin Powers movies, this printer is nothing but xxxx. I am a techy guy and I have been installing and using printers for the past 20 years, and so I know how to install a printer. I downloaded the printer software from the Dymo website, and then I installed it on my Windows 11 computer. Then I connected the Dymo printer to my computer using the included USB cable. Then I plugged the AC cord into the wall and turned on the unit. The ON/OFF button started flashing immediately. 3 rolls of official Dymo labels were included in box, so I installed one of the other rolls of official Dymo labels into the printer. The label advance button made noise, but it would not advance the labels. Both of these are not good signs of success when installing a brand new printer. So I called the Dymo tech support people. The first thing he said was that I probably had a weak sensor or a bad roll of official Dymo labels and asked me to remove the roll of official Dymo tape that I had installed and insert one of the other official rolls of Dymo tape into the printer. I told him no I will not do that. 3 official rolls of Dymo labels were included with this purchase, and I don't want to keep any printer that will not recognize every official roll of Dymo labels. Next he said that Dymo has a replacement policy already in place for their 550 label printers. (He sounded like this happened every day in his department. Can you say Red Flag?) He said that I could send the Dymo 550 label printer back to the company and in 3 weeks I would receive a new Dymo printer. I told him I need to use this label printer now, not in 3 weeks, so I will return the Dymo 550 to my local Whole Foods Store and buy a different brand of label printer tomorrow. The tech support guy said have a nice day and we ended the call. So now I am on Amazon looking for a new brand of label printer. Does anyone have any suggestions which brand and model number I can buy from Amazon and be assured that the new label printer and labels will probably work right out of the box, with no calls to technical support? All I want to do right now is to print out QR Codes and maybe some address labels, and maybe later I would like to print out shipping labels so that I can send DVDs to my clients on eBay. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Works great with my medical program

Pros: * Intuitive software: The included software makes designing and printing labels a breeze, even for tech-shy folks like me. It's well-organized and user-friendly, making the entire process straightforward. * Solid build quality: This label maker feels sturdy and well-made, giving me confidence in its long-term reliability. * Clear and crisp printing: The printed labels are sharp and professional-looking, perfect for a variety of uses. Cons: * Occasional label jams: While not a frequent occurrence, I've experienced the labels getting stuck in the machine a few times. It's slightly annoying but manageable. * Proprietary labels: Not being able to use generic labels is a bit of a downside, especially considering the cost of Dymo's official cartridges. It would be great if there was more flexibility in this area. Overall: Despite the minor drawbacks, the Dymo Labelwriter 550 has become my go-to for all my labeling needs. Its ease of use, reliable performance, and high-quality output outweigh the occasional frustrations. It wouldn't be perfect without wireless connectivity, but as it stands, I'd still give it a solid 9/10.

Great labeling printer, we use these in our facility to track orders in the building prior to boxing up for shipment.

Good value but good user experience is lacking. Label printing software and directions not very good

This is the easiest label maker I have ever used. The only draw back is the price of the labels are a little bit on the pricey side. The printer works as stated and it is very fast on printing..
