Since Dymo has made it clear they want you to spend 3 times the amount on labels and really do not care if a small business struggles with the ever rising cost daily, it would be in your best interest to go back to paper and tape. And I am sure I will get the standard verbal big corporate response on how they told you that it will not work with any other labels other than Dymo. Save it. Don't need to be railroad into a corporate speech about how Dymo can monopolies a market. Thank you Dymo for setting my mind straight and protecting your share of the market, I could only hope this company will go out of business by making such horrible decisions, I however will be looking for any other competitor to do business with in the future. Also you got 5 stars so this could be visible to the people who actually read the positive only, you should read the negatives first.
I have 'upgraded' from my old Labelwriter 400 Turbo to Labelwriter 550 because I always have been satisfied with the old one. Now to my dismay I find that the Label roll example thats included in the box, does NOT work... The printer keeps telling me that the labels is unrecognized. I have NOT bought a new roll yot, so I do not know if its a printer issue or a label issue.....
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Hultgren.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Our LabelWriter 5 series printers have been designed to work specifically with our genuine DYMO labels manufactured after April 2020 to prevent issues like excessive feeding, label jams, and misaligned printing.
We recommend cleaning the sensors of the printer. Remove the front panel of the printer, locate the sensor board below the black lever and clean them thoroughly using a dry cotton bud.
If you are still having issues (If you have more questions or feedback), please reach out to us via our website or through LiveChat. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.
We purchased a dozen of these devices for work and every single one of them have rejected the included roll of labels as 'not-authentic'. We then purchased a few rolls of genuine Dymo 30252 labels and 30374 cards. Both fail to work. We've had to order 450s instead.
Our policy has been changed to not purchase any more DRM burdened products.

The Dymo 30252 labels that shipped with the dymo labelwriter 550 are too big for the opening in the feeder. It's about 1/4 an inch to large and the labels get mashed if we attempt to force it in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our printer. We would like to inform you, the place where you feed the labels you could see a label guide (grey color) which is able to be moved left and right according to label size. Please make sure the label guide is moved to extreme right before feeding the label. However, you feedback is important for us to improve our products.

Wished I had done more research and believed there was not a “work around” having to buy only Dymo brand labels. As a small business, the Dymo brand labels are 6x the cost and not doable. Do not recommend solely for the fact you have to use expensive Dymo labels (that still jam mind you)
