Dymo labelwriter 550 over IOGear print server installation
-
Can someone help me with the instalation of Dymo Labelwriters 550 that printer is on a print server IO gear we manage to install on Windows 10 but it's not working when we try to print on the Print Queue is the job but doesn't print.
-
@favianmedina Are they using DYMO brand lables? The Dymo 550 will only print with DYMO branded lablels.
-
@CCWTech They have another DYMO 450 labelwriter Twin Turbo with IO gear print server also
-
@favianmedina Right, that's a 450. You posted about a 550. Are they using Dymo brand labels?
-
@CCWTech Rith Now in total they have 2 Dymo labelwriter 550 (can't print) and 1 Dymo labewriter 450 (currently working)

If you don't answer what people ask, no one will help you.
-
@favianmedina Right now they are using the brand that comes with the printer, no special one is shown on the labels
-
@favianmedina Does it reach the print queue, what happens? Will it print when you print directly to the printer (with USB Cable)?

when it reach the print queue just still there (only blinks) i didn't try to print directly to the printer
-
@favianmedina I am wondering because DYMO has something blocking the use of another brand of print server because of the technology in the 550 that makes it so that you can only use their labels. I don't know for sure. If this is a new printer have you contacted DYMO?
-
@CCWTech No I haven't yet
-
Doing a search I can't find any reference to the Dymo 550 with any third party print server at all. Which means very little other than most places know not to try this.
-
@favianmedina what is the model of IO Gear Print Server?
-
@CCWTech IOGEAR's palm sized 1-port USB 2.0 Print Server with firmware 9.09.56I 9032 (2017/11/23 10:36:02)
-
@favianmedina Again, what is the MODEL? I need a model number, not a description.
-
If you're buying into the Dymo ecosystem it would have been smart to get the 550 turbo model instead, since it has a network connection.
Trying to make it work with some old usb print server is just setting yourself up for failure.
I can't really think of any reason to connect a printer with USB in this day and age. At least not for printers that are stationary. So as a general rule a printer that has a network connection should be the first criteria when buying something.

@Pete-S Called IOGear, their engineers say they don't really support DYMO. That's it's a 50/50 chance if it works or not.
Honestly best to avoid DYMO at all costs now that they make you ONLY use DYMO branded labels.
But that's another conversation completely.

Yeah, IOGear doesn't officially support anything new. Their compatibility list is from 2015 for their current model. So "we don't support that" is essentially the line for everything. Pretty important to avoid IOGear as well.

I tried something similar to your soul ago with a USB print server on a demo printer and it did not work.
I have use the demo print servers and they seem to work OK. -
