" ... Nothing but headaches with this printer, some days it works, other days it won’t ... "
" ... First one laster a few months and then printer will.not print correctly. ... "
" ... But every 1 label I print probably 50 more get wasted. ... Now all of a sudden it prints 1 label and a dozen blank ones. ... "
" ... At times it spits out way too many, trying to read if there are any labels. ... Other times it won't let me print anything at all because it thinks it's out of labels when there's a full role of DYMO brand in! ... It's sad I have to go buy a new label printer already. ... "
" ... We use the for printing ebay shipping labels but its very difficult to setup. ... Not recommended – Avoid this printer at all costs. ... "
" ... But over time, wasted too many labels because of random spewing and printing not being aligned. ... Then it randomly starts spewing more labels out without any prints. ... I'm done dealing with this printer. ... Some days it is connected and your prints will go through. ... Some days it isn't and your request to print gets lost in limbo. ... "
" ... I have had this printer for a little overall 18 months. ... Duplicate labels are printed ... Labels are printed halfway between two labels ... Off center prints. ... AVOID THIS PRINTER AT ALL COSTS. ... "
" ... Besides randomly printing/wasting blank labels . ... it’s printing capabilities has really gone downhill in the last several months. ... I checked and replaced both cords it used, but sadly it’s the printer. ... "

" ... But it has two majorly inconvenient glitches that doesn't make it worth it: ... "
" ... It works intermittently, then jams, spews 4-5 random labels, then goes offline for a few weeks. ... "
" ... It broke after 2 months! ... "
" ... Frequently messes up after a print and must be uninstalled and reinstalled to fix issue. ... "
" ... The printer broke after 15 days of use . ... "
" ... This is the second one I have, the first one worked for 3 days, this second one for 3 days and it starts skipping labels in between. ... "
" ... It's a good product but you might just luck out like me and get a faulty one. ... "

" ... The software is glitchy and I've had to reinstall it several times. ... "
" ... I set everything up and kept getting an error code every time I tried to print. ... I go to print, and another error code, but this time it says it's out of paper, which is not the case, there was a brand new ream of labels in it. ... At least this was an error code I was able to fix. ... "
" ... This from a certified hardware tech, this thing is garbage. ... If I had to guess, DYMO has the software waste your labels so they can get you to buy more labels. ... "
" ... I can’t use it the next time I go to print unless I fuss around with it and uninstall-reinstall multiple times. ... "
" ... I just don't like the software. ... "
" ... The recent software provided by Dymo is horrible. ... "
" ... Half the time it will print the label and then roll out one and half labels behind it and I’ll get a print error. ... "

" ... It's very finicky, and if the roll of labels is not lined up perfectly (and the label holder in printer is not well designed) the printer will spool out countess blank labels. ... "
" ... This one included labels that caused the whole thing to freeze up because some kind of old glue was stuck to the labels and I didnt know it before using them. ... It got chunks of hard dried glue on the roller. ... Then it would not feed the labels through correctly cutting them off in the middle. ... The labels that were included caused a HUGE problem. ... "
" ... It jams bad too often. ... "
" ... The lids “hook” That allows the top to open and close and stand open on its own completely. ... "

" ... Broke within a few weeks. ... "
" ... Broke in a month ... "
" ... This product is so cheaply made, that it didn't last six months . ... The plastic doesn't hold up, the weight of the labels stresses the body carriage, and the GREED of Dymo that you have to use their labels, which must be left aligned or the whole machine goes wonky. ... "

" ... The instructions specifically stated NOT to connect the USB cable until the software was installed. ... "
" ... Firstly, my laptop is a chrome book which coincidentally is not compatible with the software for this printer and our other laptops USB is 3.0 which is apparently too fast to be compatible with this printer. ... "
" ... This by far the worst product I have ever purchased from Amazon: no 3.0 USB, labels don't line up in the correct position, labels curl around the spool and get jammed, labels jam when not curling, terrible user interface, limited instructions. ... "
