Dymo Labelwriter 450 Software For Mac Yosemite 2017
Some time ago I wrote a blog post which explained how to use a DYMO LabelWriter 450 on a headless Linux.This time I would like to show, how the setup can be pimped to expose the labelling machine as a network printer.For me this was an interesting topic, because the DYMO LabelWriter 450 is a pure USB printer.Network capabilities are available with other DYMO products, but at a much higher price.
I decided to check, if there are cheaper ways to make my existing label writer available in the local network.My setup consists of:
Dymo
- DYMO LabelWriter 450
- AVM FRITZ!Box 6660 Cable, but also tested with AVM FRITZ!Box 6490
- An Apple MacBook
The FRITZ!Box comes with the ability to act as a print sever. It is able to expose a USB connected printer in the local network.The label writer is plugged in the USB port of the FRITZ!Box and must be turned on.
Some programs on mojave says not optimized for your mac. Other types of problemsOnce the new operating system is installed, the problems are not over. According to many users, in fact, there are several problems registered during the use of the long-awaited MacOS 10.14 Mojave.From here on we will tackle all the major bugs recorded in the post-installation phase. The installation requires downloading important content. That content can not be downloaded right now. Try again later “.There are some reasons why you might have this problem. It could be because many people are trying to download MacOS Mojave at the same time. If this is the problem, please try again later to see if the download works. You can also check the live status of Apple servers to make sure everything is fine and there are no hardware problems.The MacOS Mojave download may fail even if you do not have enough space available on your Mac. The Mac will not restart after installationIf you have installed MacOS Mojave, but your Mac does not boot, manually restart it and hold Command, Option, P and R to reset the NVRAM.Hold the keys down until the computer is rebooted when you hear the OS startup sound the second time, then release the keys.

The label writer should automatically show up in the user interface of the router.If you navigate to
Home Network
> USB Devices
> Overview
it should look similar to the screenshot above.In fact this is everything which is necessary to make the DYMO LabelWriter 450 available as a network printer.
As a first step I installed the DYMO software from the website to make sure, that the necessary drivers for the device are available.To connect the printer, open the printer and scanner system settings to add a new printer.Make sure to go to the
IP
section.Use the IP or the name of the FRITZ!Box as address and make sure to select
HP Jetdirect - Socket
as the protocol.Then select the driver of the the DYMO LabelWriter 450
.The things explained so far seem to be easy, but there were some pitfalls.I think it is worth to talk about this to save others some headache.
The first problem in my setup was, that I previously used the USB port of the FRITZ!Box as a remote USB port.With this setting and an additional piece of software installed, you can use the USB port of the FRITZ!Box on a Windows computer like it would be one of the local machine.Unfortunately this setting prevents that the USB connected printer is exposed as network printer.So make sure that this setting is deactivated like shown in the screenshot below.
The second pitfall was, that I was not aware that it is necessary to use the
HP Jetdirect - Socket
entry as protocol.Doing some research I found some describtions in the web which stated explicitly this and I can confirm that it works.![Dymo labelwriter 450 software for mac yosemite 2017 Dymo labelwriter 450 software for mac yosemite 2017](/uploads/1/2/6/6/126617482/326697003.jpg)
The third topic was, that I did not install the DYMO software in advance.As a consequence, there was no suitable driver available.Installing the complete DYMO software installs it and makes it possible to select the
DYMO LabelWriter 450
entry.In addition, you can of course use the DYMO software to create and print labels with the vendor provided software.
This post explained the necessary steps to expose a DYMO LabelWriter 450 with no own network capabilities as a network printer by using the FRITZ!Box as a print server.In addition it was shown, how this remote device can be connected as a network printer to use it on a Mac.
There are some pitfalls - but if you master them, you can save some money compared to buying a network capable label writer.
