Works Well But Label Restriction is Frustrating
The Dymo 550 works well and prints reliably but I’m disappointed that it only accepts Dymo-branded labels. If I had known about this restriction beforehand I would not have purchased this unit.

Returned item.
Apparent software issue. Unable to connect to MAC computer. Problem appears to be DYMO software but no real help from Staples tech help except return product to store for a refund.

Did not work out of the box
Purchased to add support for a remote office. USB did not work with Windows either Dymo Connect or Dymo Label V8; older printers worked fine. Network connection also did not work. Defective unit? Expensive waste of time so far.

Reliable Low Price Label Printer
I had my original one since 2019 and it has been a great label printer. Easy to use and easy to maintain. I have it connected by USB so I can't attest to it's WIFI ability but a great printer.

Auto Text Sizing for Print
I purchased the DYMO 550 a few weeks ago, and I have to say using the software has been a frustrating experience. I've been trying to add text to the label box for printing and it hasn't worked all that well. It cuts out most of the text when printing and doesn't automatically size the text to the label for printing, the product is useless at present. Is there a way to ...

Great for the business
The print quality is perfect on this. It’s pretty fast that printing what you need. It’s not loud at all and it’s the perfect size. It connects very easily. My son has it. He uses it for his business.

Run Away, Do Not Walk
The Dymo IT people have totally destroyed a product that used to be reliable and simple to use. Find another vendor and save yourself immense grief and hassle.

Not good
Setting up is easy but the software program itself is terrible and not user friendly. Previous software applications have been way easier to save and create new labels.

Recent update made it unusable
Since latest update the printer is adding 2 trailing zeros to the end of the barcode number making the labels unusable. Please update and fix.

It is difficult to set up. If you want to register the machine you have to take a picture of it then upload it but the website won't let the picture upload (despite being considerable...

Tried several times to contact the DYMO support and no response. Since we updated the DYMO CONNECT, nothing works. We can't reload the new app from the web site.
OS CATALINA 10,15. We tried 10000 times and had the same message, that something went wrong.

Only prints genuine labels.
Replaced an old 400, as it will not work with Windows 11. It will not print on our U-Line labels, and we have half a case left. Returning the 550, purchased a competitive brand. No more Dymo.
