Drivers don’t work
Can’t make the drivers work with the printer so I can’t use it.

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.

Great little label printer, except...
This is a very good label printer. Unfortunately, it won't allow me to print in red anymore.

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

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.

Fix issues related to IOS 18
Since the IOS 18 software update, I am not longer able to access any of my previous labels or settings. I have used this machine for 4 years. I hope that this review will help resolve this as it is impossible to reach anyone regarding.

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!
