Dymo Labelwriter on Vista and Server 2003 R2 [FIXED]
I had a problem yesterday with a dymo labelwriter 400.
The labelwriter is physically connected via USB on a windows 2003 R2 server.
When I installed the labelwriter software on a vista client the installation went flawless.
The labels were printed perfectly but when I rebooted the vista client the Dymo Labelwriter 400 went in offline mode and I could not set in online.
So I called dymo support and to my surprise they don't support Windows 2003 R2. And they hungup on me.
But here's the fix you seek.
1. After you install the labelwriter on a vista client you will have to delete the dymo printer from the "control panel \ printers"
2. Now you add in the same screen a new printer select the printer from active directory (If you have checked the box when you installed the printer on the server)
This is all, now the printer won't go offline anymore.
I hope this helps you, and dymo support.

Hi,
Did you encounter problem with DYMO LabelWriter 400 installation on Windows Server 2003 R2?
I have the problem installing the driver for Windows Server 2003 R2, after the installation of driver, the printer does not work correctly, the printing is very slow and the print result is incomplete. and there are error message pops up “Failed to print document”
I tried to contact DYMO support and the same answer they gave to me, they don’t support 2003.
Regards,
Alvin
