Great printer.
Works great. Truly plug and play. I use it mostly for marking boxes in my shop with contents. Large print makes it quick to identify contents. 4 lines on the smaller stickers is still easy to read. I use the smaller ones to mark specs on boxes/bags of finished products. There's a built in file to save regularly repeated labels.

Horrible software
I could not get my printer software to consistently open when turning on the printer. I downloaded the software at least 5 times to try to get it to open properly and it still never would. Tried contacting Brother customer support and am currently still on hold, for over a half hour now, and could not get to any online chat session or email to them. Horrible customer su...

Not Compatible with Windows 11
There was nothing wrong with the printer itself, but I still had to spend a few hours on the phone with customer service before someone finally told me that the printer wasn't compatible with the latest Windows 11 update.

Good Printer
Good printer. We use this to make barcode labels for our store. We've only been using it for a few months, but it seems to be a workhorse.

Delighted with the Brother QL-800
The QL-800 is a major step up from my decades-old Dymo LabelWriter 330 Turbo. After a couple of months of use -- I am delighted that I made the decision to move from Dymo to Brother! The Brother software allows me to format labels in ways that were impossible with my Dymo. The software was easy to learn despite offering numerous custom options. The Brother labels themse...

Perfect for a small business
I love my new brother printer! I have a small candy business and I used to have to use Avery labels to print to label all my products which was time-consuming and way more expensive. This is quick and easy and I love it.

Does it's job.
It took me awhile to find the label with the zipcode bar on it. It should have been the first template instead of the last 2 The printer works well.

Label printer
After installing the software, I printed some labels. The next day the printer was offline and I have not been able to get it back online. I submitted a request to Brother for help but have no received a call or email. Not impress with product or support.

Unable to down load drivers and get it to work.
I bought the QL-800 Label maker 3 weeks ago but have not used it because i have not been able to download the drivers. I have a call (text) into the support team but because of the holiday they won't be able to get back with me for another 3-4 days. I'm on hold.

Set up
Set up takes a little while to figure out the best way to print. Setting margins and whatnot was a little out of my league so I had my daughter help. Once she got it going, it was perfect!
