Ya, currently only printing via USB is supported. However thanks to the recent work of @tomers I think we're getting close to being able to work with networked printers.
If i try to print via USB, this works.
Does it work for you with dymoprint
, lp
, or both? I'm asking because we don't have confirmation that the 550 is compatible. See #44.
The Dymo SDK is a mess. But you can get it working with this SDK. Will post details later.
OK, here i go. (I have the lablelwriter 500 (usb only)
The reason behind me telling the SDK is a mess is the following:
It will work for printing then.

If i use lp
it works for printing, if i print a test page it also fit's it nicely on 1 label. dymoprint
or dymoprint_gui
gives the same error not being able to find the printer.
Dymoprint without modification won't recognize the 550 since it's not registered in our list of supported products.
You can do a development install and add it yourself. To get the device id which is the key in the dict, just run lsusb
and you should see a line like:
Bus 001 Device 012: ID 0922:1001 Dymo-CoStar Corp. LabelManager PnP
Here 0922
is the vendor ID of Dymo, and 1001
is the device id for the LabelManager PnP.
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0922:0028 Dymo-CoStar Corp. DYMO LabelWriter 550
For anyone referring in the future
@jayjayseal, I recently got A DYMO LavelWriter 550 printer, and hopefully I will be able to add support for that model in the near future.

I'm actually planning to buy a LabelPrinter 550. I hope there is support already.
In the meanwhile there is an official driver from Dymo themselves: https://github.com/dymosoftware/Drivers
Hi,
I have an issue with the application. If i try to print via USB, this works. But i want to use this using a RPI on a network. I can print to the printer using
printf "lol" | lp -o landscape
and this works by printing from a remote laptop to CUPS (Dymo 550) connected on a RPI (USB).But the application (CLI or GUI) cannot find this printer and error's out with the following error. `$ dymoprint -qr qrencoded "qr_txt" No Dymo devices found (expected vendor 0x922)
