DYMO Not Working - Windows

We have found that by following all of the steps below, in the order they are displayed, most DYMO printer issues can be solved easily!

• Set https://app.inventorylab.com as an exception to any external popup or ad blockers you are running.
  .
• Disconnect the power cable from your printer.
   
• Fully delete all current driver downloads completely from your computer -  This step is CRUCIAL. If you only install the correct driver version without first uninstalling the one you already have, your issue will not resolve.
  
  If you have DYMO Connect installed, then delete DYMO Connect from your system.

• Plug your printer back in and turn on after your driver has been installed.

• Make sure your printer is installed on your computer (after a driver update, many times it is not. This will cause it to not be recognized in IL)
  • Windows 10->Start->Settings->Devices->Printers & Scanners->Add a Printer or Scanner
    
    Since your printer is plugged in during this step, Windows should automatically recognize your printer to select.

VERY IMPORTANT FINAL STEPS

• Log out of InventoryLab by clicking your name in the upper right hand corner->Logout
  
  
• Log back into InventoryLab
  
  
• Re-Run Print Setup in InventoryLab (Settings->Print Setup)

If you cannot print at this point, reboot your computer completely, plug the printer back in and try to print once more. Some systems require a full reboot for the driver update to take place.
