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.

To connect your label printer to a print server

1

Connect one end of a USB cable to the USB connector on your label printer and the other end 
to the USB connector on the print server.

2

Connect the print server to your network.

3

Connect power to the label printer and print server.

4

Install and configure the print server on your network. 

5

Confirm that you can print to the label printer from the computer you are using to install and 
configure the print server.

6

Add the printer connected to the print server to other computers in the workgroup.
