Using a Print Server
You can print over a network to a DYMO label printer connected to a wired or wireless USB print
server. DYMO now offers a LabelWriter Print Server to easily share your LabelWriter printer on a
network. Visit the DYMO Web site to learn more about our print server.
A DYMO label printer works the same as any other printer connected to a print server and requires
no special configuration. The steps for installing and printing with print servers vary by print server
type and manufacturer. See the documentation provided with the print server for detailed
installation and printing instructions.
DYMO label printers support printing from Windows XP (Service Pack 2), Windows Vista,
Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2), and Mac OS X.
The following are notes and tips for the print server installation:
•
Make sure that your print server supports the type of operating system installed on your
computer (Windows or Mac OS).
•
Most print servers only support the LabelWriter DUO Label printer. However, the DYMO
LabelWriter Print Server does support both the LabelWriter DUO Label and Tape printers.
•
DYMO label printers with older firmware versions do not support print servers. See Printer
Firmware Versions that Support Print Servers.
In general, during print server installation, if you are prompted for the printer or printer driver,
select the option for installing a printer driver from a disk and insert the DYMO Label Software CD
in the computer’s CD-ROM drive. If the installer doesn’t automatically locate the printer drivers,
navigate to the printer drivers on the CD. If prompted to select your printer, select the printer
physically connected to the print server.
