DYMO 1750630 LabelWriter Print Server & LW Multi-Purpose Labels for LabelWriter Label Printers, White, 1'' x 2-1/8'', 1 roll of 500 (30336)

Once you get the print server on your network & connect your DYMO LabelWriter, it should be smooth sailing. It should go without saying, but be sure to have the DYMO Label Software (or DYMO Connect for Desktop) already installed on any machine(s) you’ll be using the DYMO printer with.I did want to point out a few things though. When you unbox the device, you'll find the MAC address listed on the bottom sticker. I would highly suggest creating a static IP for the print server via your router's management page (192.168.1.1 in my case), BEFORE connecting it to your network via Ethernet. Per the DYMO Print Server User Guide, by default, the static IP address for the print server is 192.168.1.100. Since that was already taken by another IP reservation on my network, I assigned 192.168.1.3 to my DYMO print server.Once that was done, I connected the print server to my LabelWriter & to my router, and plugged in the A/C adapter. Less than a minute later, all of the status lights had activity & I was able to navigate to 192.168.1.3 to access the DYMO LabelWriter Print Server web configuration page (see screencaps). I really didn’t need to change any options here though, since setting the IP address is basically the bulk of the setup; I did modify the server Description field.Do yourself a favor and search Google for “Dymo Print Server User Guide” — the first result is what you’re looking for — a PDF version of the setup guide. Avoid installing the Control Center software, as the same configuration can be done using the print server web UI (as outlined above). The only thing I used the guide for was to install the DYMO printer on my Windows machine(s), since the process was not as straightforward compared to Mac. Once on the network, the DYMO printer automatically shows up when you click on the + button on the Mac’s Printers & Scanners window (see screencap) — I just changed the Name & Location fields when adding it, for clarity. However, on Windows, the DYMO will not be automatically detected, and must be added manually, by following the steps listed under the “Adding a Printer in Windows Vista” section of the DYMO Print Server User Guide; the Vista instructions still work in Windows 10. This is where having a static IP comes in handy — you’ll be guaranteed that the DYMO Print Server will always have the same IP address, even after its DHCP lease expires. This ensures that your computers will always be able to “see” the printer on the network after it’s been added.TL;DR — Install the DYMO Label Software (or DYMO Connect for Desktop) on any machine(s) you’ll be using the DYMO printer with. Locate the MAC address of the DYMO LabelWriter Print Server (found on the bottom sticker of the device), and set a static IP address for the server on your network (doing this via your router, NOT the DYMO server itself, is preferable). Connect the DYMO LabelWriter Print Server to your DYMO printer via USB, to your router/modem via Ethernet, and connect the A/C adapter. Navigate to the DYMO LabelWriter Print Server web configuration page, using the IP address you just reserved — if it loads, it means it’s been set up correctly — you do not necessarily need to change any options here. By default, the Administrator is “admin” as is the Password; unless you’re on an Enterprise/office network, I wouldn’t suggest changing this. Follow the instructions in the Dymo Print Server User Guide to add/install the printer on your computer(s) — refer to “Adding a Printer in Windows Vista” if you’re using Windows 7 or 10.My server’s been up & running since day 1 with no issues; works with both my Mac & Windows machines. Docking 1 star, given the not-so-clear setup process, and the outrageous price. I’m mostly bummed about Windows not automatically detecting the print server during the install step, unlike Mac. But overall, it’s a set-it-and-forget-it kind of device.

Worked for me right out of the box on a MacBook Pro M1. A little anticlimactic after reading all the issues in these reviews. Got a used one for a good discount from Amazon Warehouse Deals so I'm quite satisfied for the value.

Please update your manual for windows 10. I spent way too much time trying to get this to work using Vista’s directions (since this is all there is) I talked with Amazon tech support and they said the print server doesn’t work with windows 10. I couldn’t find a manual on Amazon that would show me setting up for win 10. If I had the directions or if someone would have been able to help me get setup, I would have kept this. Now I’ll have to find another solution. What a waste of time.

I have a 2018 MacBook Pro with Catalina and It seems there is zero hope this will ever work my computer. I can't even install the most up to date software. It does come with a CD but I haven't had a computer with a CD drive in a very long time. Also you have to hook it directly up to your internet with an ETHERNET CABLE like it a REAL SERVER in a SERVER FARM or something or other. it is the size a maybe a pack of high-end cigarettes but they want you to treat it like you are wiring it for Google, except the technology is from when I was in college in the 90's. I also bought a NON wireless dymo printer to go with it, hoping I could get it on my network. Well the Dymo software for that only goes through Sierra so the advice is to make custom labels in MSWord to print out. So still thinking Dymo was a good brand I looked at their wireless "newer" printer. HAHAHAHA you have to connect to it via an IP address that you are magically supposed to know how to find and login as an admin to your wireless network. They suggest not changing the baseline admin password. Probably because you will never be able to use that fine piece of cutting edge technology again. I gave up and am now waiting for a Brother Label Printer. What a waste of time.

I run a company providing IT support for a living - so we deal with medical clients that ALL have Dymo printers. I got sick and tired of Dymo glitches constantly creating support tickets for the same stupid issues. In desperation, I finally tried putting the Dymo 450 Turbo on this little print server to see if the problems would go away. I've been using them for two years and haven't had a SINGLE problem with ANY DYMO connected via print server. We're making this standard equipment for all our new dymo's now. Set it up and forget it!The interface is pretty simple to operate. You can change the hostname, password, and IP address through the web interface and after that you simply leave it alone and it'll work great!

Pros: The setup was easy. We got it working without issue in a scenario where printing had to happen from two different subnets.Cons: It stopped working a few months after it was set up. The network interface still worked fine, seemingly. The printer worked fine when connected via USB to other systems, but for whatever reason the print jobs never made it to the printer. A complete uninstall and reinstall of the drivers/ printer ports etc. was performed to no avail. We also replaced the USB Cable, reset the device to factory defaults, reinstalled the firmware and also tried setting everything up from scratch on a different system to rule out an issue with the operating system. There aren't really any diagnostic features on this device so it's impossible to say exactly what happened, but somehow the print server device no longer detected the printer or could not successfully pass jobs to it. Very disappointed.

I purchased this product for my Vet practice five months ago. The labels are not printing and my IT consultant has identified that the product is faulty. I would like a replacement please.

The power adapter on this has to be plugged injust right for it to work. For the price I paid, $200, an old spare PC would have done a better job and have been able to handle more than one printer. There are cheaper, better built USB - LAN print servers out there.

fried after less than 2 months.

Have to keep resetting the print server to print anything
