This printer worked great until they updated the software and it is no longer compatible. Their answer? Buy the 'new' printer thats twice the price and will only work with expensive labels.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a label writer for so many reasons. My crafting supplies, things boxed up that I constantly have to dig through looking for something no longer a problem! I can even make my own address labels! I find new uses constantly every day. I love this product!!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Windows 10 still fails
on June 13, 2019
Posted by: SaibotIT
I work in IT support and have had Dymo's that I've had to re-install multiple times for users. Usually it's trying to use the wrong driver, so the software isn't detecting it anymore. I assume the driver screws up during Windows 10 updates but it's still ridiculous that Dymo drivers don't seem to be interact with Windows 10 well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

DYMO LabelWriter 450 upgrade for windows 10
on June 5, 2019
Posted by: selwonk
from Houston, TX
I had windows 7 for work, then I was upgraded to windows 10. With that I also received a newer version of DYMO LabelWriter. The new layout for the DYMO LabelWriter 450 looks clean and up to date. But that is all that is good about it. The software is supposed to be simple, fast, and easy to use, but It's functuality has gotten worst. Now there are multiple clicks to make one or more labels. It is slower even for just 1 label. No double click action to highlight anymore. Now I have to Highlight everything. It doesn't keep my font or the size of the label from the previous day either. I know these are little things to complain about. But if you had software that was easy to use, smart, and fast... Why would you change for garbage. I believe Dymo just wasted money for no reason. And now your customers has to suffer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not compatible with windows 2010
on January 10, 2020
Posted by: nicknamealreadyinuse
I absolutely LOVED my label maker prior to the windows 2010 upgrade at my library. Now my DYMO LabelWriter450 is NOT user friendly and a pain in the neck to use. Please please make this compatible with Windows 2010. It would make my work day soooo much easier. Thank you

DYMO FIX THIS MACHINE
on September 16, 2023
Posted by: Deena
We have had this device for several years and everytime there's an update, the label printer goes haywire. There are constantly issues with printing blank labels, misaligned labels, smudged labels, etc. Oh and if you try to use the 'Help' it leads to a page that doesn't exist. Useless!! So much time and labels have been wasted trying to figure out this machine
Response from Dymo.comBy Bianca, DYMO, September 18, 2023
Hello Deena.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We recommend you clean the print head and roller by feeding a business card with alcohol on it in order to stop the excessive feeding that was the cause of the issue. Additionally, we recommend cleaning the printer sensors. Visit Dymo. com > Support > Dymo Help Center > LabelWriter > How to clean my Dymo printer for advanced instructions.
Furthermore, the use of generic labels can cause this issue which is why we recommend using DYMO authentic labels as they reduce issues such as misaligned printing, excessive feeding, and label jams. We also guarantee that our labels will provide you with the best user experience.
If you are still having issues, please reach out to us via our website or through LiveChat. We’re available Mon.-Fri. 9am - 5pm Eastern Time.
Thank you! DYMO® Consumer Care

Printing From ACCESS
on June 8, 2014
Posted by: tiac234
from Georgia, United States
Got 450 to print labels 2-5/16x4" form MSAccess. After getting the bugs out of the access program Labels print great. With Access you have to remove your header and footer on your report page so that the printer doesn't print more than one label at a time.
