2 years ago @jrperk What do you have the loaded media set to? The default media is the 3.5x1.25" address label, but since the DYMO printers lack any sort of media sensing capability you need to make sure to manually configure what you have loaded in the printer.
You can configure the loaded media to the 1x1 square labels at the command-line with:
lprint modify -d PRINTER-NAME -o media-ready=oe_square-multipurpose-label_1x1in -o media=oe_square-multipurpose-label_1x1inSimilarly, if you go to the web interface (typically on port 8000 for a Pi) then you can click on the "Media" button and choose the loaded media.

I am very close to creating a barcode label kiosk using lprint and a raspberry pi 400 running Buster. This is a giant leap from the 8 second delay that CUPS creates betweeen jobs. No matter what settings I use, it appears that lprint is attempting to center the label across the entire width of the dymo printer. This printer has a maximum label width of about 2.5 inches. When you load a smaller label, you cannot center it in the carriage. You have to left-align the roll. If I print a larger label size, it still attempts to center it across the entire carriage. I am printing 1x1 labels and I only get about the left 1/8" of the image on the label. Everyting else is hanging off to the right. I understand this uses the cups 1/100mm measurements for margins but I can't figure out how to change them as -o options and the current ones in .lprint.conf don't match what I am seeing on the paper. I apologize if this issue is covered somewhere else. I can't seem to find anything about it in the documentation, man pages, cups programming manuals, etc.
