How do I change the printing orientation when printing address labels using macOS Contacts and a Dymo label printer?

I'm trying to print address labels from Contacts to my Dymo 450 label maker, but it always prints in the wrong orientation. How do I change the orientation?


Thanks in advance!

Greetings, John.


I see that you need the change the page orientation of the Contacts you're trying to print. I'm happy to help.


Print mailing labels, envelopes, and contact lists in Contacts on Mac

Print lists
In the Contacts app  on your Mac, select contacts or a group.
Choose File > Print.
Click the Style pop-up menu, then choose Lists.
If you don’t see the Style pop-up menu, click Show Details near the bottom left corner.
Choose the paper size and orientation, then select the information (attributes) to include in the list.
Click Print.

Take care!

I’m having the exact same problem as originally reported. On an iMac 2012, using Contacts, running macOS Mojave, trying to print to a Dymo LabelWriter 400. I can print fine from the Dymo app but it would be really nice to print labels (Dymo Label 30252 Addresss) directly from the Contacts application. I’ve looked at every setting I can find and the label prints in the wrong orientation (90 degrees off). I don’t see an orientation setting anywhere in the dialog boxes. Has anyone solved this problem?


Thanks.
