Dymo Labelwriter problem

I spoke with Dymo support today & they verified that their LabelWriter software & driver DOES NOT OPERATE in Leopard. They forecast a new driver & software package within the next 2-3 weeks. Note that there is nothing about this posted on their web site, at least as of this morning (10-29).

I'm also having problems with a Canon LIDE 30 scanner, Epson 980 inkjet printer, and an HP 2550 laser printer. None of these four peripherals will operate for me under 10.5. Good thing I installed it on a separate drive to play & test, and can boot back into 10.4.9 to get some work done.

On a separate note, while I can get Filemaker 7.0.3 to launch, I can't get our billing database to open (G5). I guess it doesn't really matter, since I wouldn't be able to print invoices anyway! 🙂 I read on Macintouch that one person got FMP 6 to open & operate properly in Rosetta on an Intel Mac.

Yesterday, a young man working at the Apple Store here told me that all printers and scanners were supported. Hey, all you can do is smile & shake your head at the exuberance of youth 🙂

I have the Dymo LabelWriter TwinTurbo working just fine under Leopard. I disconnected the printer and reinstalled the drivers then plugged it back in and it's been working fine.

Thanks, I tried that on both our LabelWriter 330's but no luck. Fortunately, 2-3 weeks from now, Dymo will release updated software.

Doesn't really matter yet - for me, anyway. Can't get Filemaker to work, no scanner, no other printers, so for now, Leopard's just something to play with at the end of the work day...

Looking forward to 10.5.1 🙂

Yes I am using the DLS software. Both the Dymo Stamps and Dymo Label software are working. I didn't have to reinstall the software, but I did have to reinstall the drivers.

Version 7.7.0.0

I got the same message "reinstall printer driver".
Had to reboot computer for it to recognize the driver.
Works fine now.

I've had to reinstall my DYMO software so many times it's sickening. I've never had such a buggy hardware-software product (330 LabelWriter). Prior to Leopard, I've had to reinstall whenever I did an update or had printer problems. And everytime is takes several attempts for it to take. I only tried it once after the Leopard update and gave-up.

I'll wait it out to see if DYMO releases an update as claimed in earlier posts.

FYI...

I wish more developers would participate in Apple Developer programs so they can make fixes to their commercial software before a new OS is released. I don't blame Apple, I blame the software and hardware companies for not being more proactive in providing seamless support to their customers.

QUESTION:
When will a Mac OS X Leopard (v 10.5) compatible version of DYMO Label Software (DLS) be available?

ANSWER:
DYMO is currently developing a version of DLS that will feature Mac OS X Leopard (v 10.5) compatibility. Click Notify Me by Email if this Answer is Updated to be notified when more information is made available.

After my Leopard upgrade, Endicia can't find my LabelWriter. It's really inexcusable for Dymo to require 2-3 weeks for an update that works with Leopard. It's not like Apple just sprung Leopard on us and they weren't prepared. They should have been working on compatible drivers many months ago.

I did the upgrade.

I have my Dymo Twin Turbo hooked up my Airport Extreme, and I print through that. Whenever I want to print to it using Leopard, I have to restart the Airport.
