DYMO LabelWriter Print Server, Direct Thermal Output, Wireless Network for Label Makers

The best option to share a label printer without cat5 connection. It works flawlessly, you need to download the software get the IP address of the printer, add the new printer as a new network printer, type the IP address and it's done! I use a turbo 4500 and now all the computers "see" the printer and I can print from any station

BUYER BEWARE! This is supposed to turn your Dymo into a networked printer. Our environment is using Unifi Network gear and also Apple Mac products for our desktops. We have a Wifi Dymo for a remote location in our warehouse. Good WiFi signal no power issues etc - Other Wifi devices (HP Printers etc) work flawlessly. The Dymo decides it's no longer connected to the network and just not going to print even though all the Desktops indicate it is online and working. Prints will go through without errors and disappear into the ether. We bought this Print Server hoping that hardwiring a USB dymo would solve the problem. No Dice. It's just as bad. Goes offline for no reason. Reached out to Dymo Tech support which is terrible and incompetent. We were told it is not supported to work on a switch or router. Why would you buy a print server if not for that reason? I can already hardwire the device directly to a device via USB and share it over the network, so there is 0 benefit to purchasing this device.

Just what I was looking for to turn our inexpensive Dymo LabelWriter 450 Turbo label printers into network printers. Very simple to install - plug in the supplied power cable, connect your LabelWriter to the print server with its USB cable, and plug into your wired network. Install the included software on a computer on the network and you can then browse to the web server and configure its name and IP address. After that, you can add a new printer to any computer on your network by name or IP and print to your LabelWriter. A little expensive but saves us a lot of time in the office. I bought 3 and would buy them again.

We have used other print servers however, this Dymo server works w/o any set-up problems or operational issuses like we had with some other products. Only "con" is that you have to set-up the printers being used on the network via a USB "direct connection" on each CPU in order for the Dymo Software to full install and set-up. Other then that it's a great addition for networking the printer. We are using the Dymo 450-Twin Turbo Printer with this print server. Yes, I would recomend this item.

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.

More expensive than the label maker, but I can't say it doesn't do what it is supposed to. Usually easy to setup on the network. Every once in a while I've had to reboot one to get it to print but mostly stable and reliable. Make sure gateway and dns are set if changing to static (which I recommend doing).

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.

We have two offices where one remotes to another via RDP and they need to print on their home site. With Dymo 450 Turbo connected to a local USB port and printer shared... things tend to get extremely slow. So... we purchased this product hoping to speed printing up. PROS: - On a local subnet, this works great, no issues, fast. Let me repeat: ON A LOCAL SUBNET ONLY. Somewhat tough setup since you have to figure out its IP address first before you can change it and either make it static or create a DHCP reservation. - Customer support was pretty decent, answered phone quickly, gave us a straight answer, no time wasted CONS: - For us, this device does not accomplish its primary purpose as we cannot print to it (or even ping it) from our second subnet even though all other devices on our network can ping one another - Website and application not really user friendly We will be returning two of these units back to Amazon as they are useless to us.

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.

Únicamente funciona para impresoras DYMO

Horrible product and no return option offered. Is this a scam?

works great, currently have 10 computers in the office printing on one label printer with no issues

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.
