Good labels, bad system

All my first impressions of this printer were great. I followed all the instructions as I unpacked and connected the printer up with my MacOS 11 laptop. I used the P-Touch editor that comes when downloading everything you would seemingly need to operate the printer. I printed my first few labels with the editor and they all came out pretty great except one that I had to crop down. I then was a little curious about the driver for the printer. I was thinking, "there's no way this prints without a driver, right?". Unfortunately, correct. It was so disappointing to realize this printer does not have a driver to connect with my Mac so I could easily print off labels more than one at a time. I originally really liked the printer, and if you're only printing a label here and there where you don't have multiple orders you want to ship at once, this is great. But, if you want a seamless process with a printer driver instead of a separate app, this isn't the label printer I would recommend.
The printer recognizes the start and end of each label so there's no waste as with other label printers. It's very fast a of course quiet. Need one? Buy this one with confidence.
No more expensive rolls of tape, wasted time and inconvenience printing the old way. Paper, print, cut then tape tape tape. Today click and peel. Love it!
I had to convince my wife to drop the dymo because it kept breaking down and we would buy a new one. The QL1100 is the best shipping label! And it comes with wifi!!! No more usb cables. Its worth it!!
This is my first label printer, so I can't compare it to others, but I'm completely satisfied. Printing shipping labels has been easy and I haven't encountered any problems.
Perfect for my small business. I no Longer have to to buy so much printer ink to print shipping labels and have to worry about if I lined Everything up properly with the labels on the sheet.
