Question 1

i was wondering if this unit will work with windows 7?

Accepted Answer

Yep. And Windows 10. Make sure you download the latest software for it. 
My user sez, "Works like a charm! Wouldn't want to be without it."

Question 2

Is this printer wireless? Would I be able to print from more than one PC?

Accepted Answer

No, it is connected via USB cable.  Once connected and running, you could use the "share"  feature and if all the PCs are connected to some sort of a network, you could print.

Question 3

Does it require any ink/cartridge replacement?

Accepted Answer

no, the labels used are heat sensitive. As such the lettering may fade over time if left in extreme temperatures.

Question 4

I have an ancient DYMO printer and it just isn't compatible with my computer any more.  I want to purchase this one, but can't find anywhere if it will print 2 up labels. Does anyone know if this printer will print them? (DYMO label 30275).

Accepted Answer

I've had my Labelwriter 450 for about 2 years now, and have been impressed.  It just works - no fuss, no jamming, very quiet and results are great for my uses.  Mine is used with several different computers, and works fine with XP, Vista, W7 & W8.1.

That being said, I've never tried to print 2-up labels.  I did some research and found Dymo makes 2-up labels (Part # 30253), 700 labels per roll.  Per the web site, these are fully compatible with the 450.  I didn't see a reference to #30275, but don't see any obvious reason it shouldn't work.

Also, per the site, the printer will print 2-up of the same label (side by side) or two different labels (also side by side.)

Hope this helps.

Question 6

Are there colored labels available for this printer? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

Yes.  We ordered custom labels (in color) with our logo and return address across the top from Bay Tech Labels.  We saw colored labels on their site as well.

Question 7

Does this machine print in color?

Accepted Answer

They do not print color

Question 8

does this product work with endicia software for printing labels?

Accepted Answer

According to Endicia’s own online store “Endicia software is designed to work seamlessly with DYMO's line of LabelWriter printers, and you can choose from three specially designed postage labels for envelopes and packages.”

Question 9

what size label does this uses? is it compatabile with label sizes 28 mm x 89 mm?

Accepted Answer

It would be best to check Dymo's website to see what label sizes are available since you most likely can't re-use labels that aren't designed for the Dymo. The labels have specific notch in them so the Dymo's sensor will feed and stop properly. Also in the driver there are pre-installed label types/sizes that work for the Dymo label printer. Good example is here in my office we have two types of label printers seiko smart label printer 400 and the dymo 450; both use the same label size and label count but the labels are NOT interchangeable due to the different notches in the paper

Question 10

Is this printer capable of printing QR style barcode labels?

Accepted Answer

The program that came with the label printer does not have an option for generating QR code.

Printed existing QR codes on an address label from IrfanView image viewer.   It printed the graphics for both codes that I tested.  I scaned the codes with SCAN App.  The results were as follows:

Simple WEB address - Scan App was able to correctly read the code.
Full Business Card - Scan App could not read the code (Too dense).
