Side by Side Comparison of: DYMO vs Brother

Works very well in Linux. Texted in Debian Jessie with GIMP. I simply made a canvas the same size of the labels I was using. When ready to print, the print dialog using CUPS server had all the printer specific settings like virtually all the available label sizes, DPI resolution, halfttoning, print density, and print quality. When first setting up, the printer driver is available in the Debian repos and literally required no additional configuring after the “printer-driver-dymo” package was installed. Also, it seems that some of the annoying issues on windows based machines like unnecessarly spooling multiple labels through the printer when the rolls are switched is absent in Linux. I would defiantly try to find a package ready-made for your Linux distribution as opposed to building from the source code on the official dymo site. The build documentation is incomplete and I kept getting errors.

Awesome. After dealing with a PTOUCH for years and thinking it was as good as it gets, I bought this because the software I'd written to drive the PTOUCH to make custom labels stopped working and nothing could fix it. I bought this, downloaded the C# samples, and was printing custom labels in, literally, 15 minutes. By contrast, the PTOUCH SDK was half a day and never quite reliable. Not only that, the PTOUCH labels tend to get stuck inside the printer, and the printer wastes a lot of tape to print a single label. The Dymo nicely presents the labels to you, and they are easily torn off.Hats off to the Dymo team. Very nice product, very reasonable price, and the SDK is awesome.

Dymo makes great products that makes work or life better. The Dymo 450 works great in an industrial setting and office setting. Easy to use, prints quick, makes professional labels, and no messy ink/toner. Add an external HP Jet direct and you can network the printer. Labels are study and adhere nicely.

Anyone- that has a Computer can utilize this incredible Label Maker!!! I have one at work - and encouraged Management to get one for everyone in our Narcotic Program ! These are inexpensive & "user friendly"! I have one at home as well! They are easy to use, easy to install, easy to maintain and you will see how fast you can use with it! Certified Letters? It makes it easy! Regular Letters,for your address and or just for Christmas Cards - it's incredibley fast to use! Caution: The United States Postal Service will NOT mail if your Label (to the sender) has a Bar Code. Your letter will be returned. Learn how to turn off the Bar Code Settings. I assure you it's just click of the button. These make your life easier!

Hopefully I will never have to address an envelope again. Works very nice. My only problem is the rolls come with a sticker on the first label which means you have to toss the first 1-2 labels or end up getting it stuck in the mechanism. Even after removing the sticker, the glue stays on the label.

What a joy to have a printer for Etsy, Amazon and eBay that provides inexpensive goof proof labels. This has been a real timesaver.

Sometimes a laser printer isn't good enough and who wants to waste a whole sheet of labels for one or two print jobs. That, and having to remember which side is up, or which labels you used last so you're using the right space on the label sheet.Set-up was a bit of a pain and you REALLY need to call-in to set this thing up as far as the software. There were a bunch of updates, directions weren't clear, and just a pain until I called. That being said, once its set-up, its fantastic and very easy to use. Love having it for those quick one-off labels. My hand writing is atrocious, so love having at least the front of the envelope legible and neat. Two thumbs-up and one thumbs down for set-up.

Before I bought this I was using avery labels and an epson printer. The cost of the labels and ink was getting really costly and at that time, my printer ink slots (?) had dried and I would've needed to get it repaired or buy a new printer. For half the price, I decided to try this little printer and I don't know why I didn't do this from the beginning. You can adjust your label or screenshot an image to be any size to print. I've printed labels that are 3' x 5' and as small as 1' x 2' for my bakery business all on the same roll. It doesn't use ink since it's a thermal printer so they only thing I need to keep buying are the rolls of labels. One roll can print a lot of labels depending on what you're doing.

We have two of the QL-500 and two QL-700 printers in our office (we print a lot of labels). These printers are work horses and we've printed thousands of labels with each of the different printers. Easy to use, can do mail merges for mailing labels, or just about any use. Very easy to swap out different label size cartridges and the printer configures automatically for the new label cartridge. We've used with the file folder labels, the mailing labels, the shipping labels, the name tag labels, etc. Been happy all around with these.

Absolutely love this printer.***NOTE: Some people complained that it prints slow. Here is the deal: It DOES print slow, IF you only use the default "editor lite" software that comes pre-installed with the printer. Basically if you don't install the drivers/software that comes with it on the disc (or better yet, by downloading the latest version from Brother's website), then you have to use the crappy "editor lite" software that is literally built into the printer.If you use the "lite" software, you just plug the printer in, and your computer basically recognizes the printer as a flash drive (and you go into it like a flash drive, and then double click the editor lite exe / icon, which starts the crappy editor lite program.)If you use the editor lite program it prints slower than DEATH, even if doing multiple copies of a print.Trust me when I say you should just go to google and search for "brother Q-700 software". The first result that shows up will be Brother's Website, and if you click on the link, it will take you right where you need to be.Download the drivers AND the "P-Touch" Software (at the time of writing this, it was P-Touch 5.1.Install the drivers FIRST, and then install the P-Touch software (as per the instructions.)Now the printer will be recognized and function like a real printer. And the p-touch software has WAY more functionality than the crappy editor lite. But more importantly, this thing prints 100 times faster when you use the p-touch software.Hope this helps!

My wife has started a small business and this ended up being the perfect label maker. It was surprisingly easy to setup. And after playing around with the different size labels, we found the right one for our needs. There's more forms and varieties then most people would ever need. Having to switch between label paper I assume would be a pain, but we just found one that worked with our size label and haven't had any issues. It prints fairly quickly and hasn't jammed or malfunctioned yet. We've had it about 6 months or so. Its really everything you could ask for.

Another quality Brother product. I really like this label printer for one particular reason - when you plug in the USB connection, you get a pop up asking to open a file - which is the printer software! So, you don't have to remember to install everything. Just plug it in and run the pop up - and you will be printing in 60 seconds. It is the same experience I have found on Brother's PTouch printers. I know I sound like a fan - because I am. I have 3 P-Touch printers - work, home, home - and I just got this Label Printer. In addition, it works flawlessly. Prints quickly, does auto cutting so you don't waste label paper, and the software is embedded in the printer itself - like a USB memory stick.

Ease of use: 5 starsLabels: 5 starsQuality of Print: 4 starsSpeed: 5 starsNo ink: 1E6 stars!!Great little printer. I find myself mailing things instead of doing it online just so I can print the label! I wish I had bought the Duo just so I could have endless return addresses.I removed one star because the quality of the print is just average.

Works great once you figure out settings. Suggest to include instructions on how to print various types of labels.Labels could have template numbers printed on back to help with settings.Once you have the correct settings printing is fast and efficient

Nice for printing those envelope labels. Replacement labels are a bit high priced though. The postal labels are a pain to load and sometimes jam up the printer which doesn't allow you to open up fully and get the stuck label out. You have to work at it for a while to get it to release.

Great label maker. I don't know what we ever did without it. I love that we don't need ink. We print gazillions of labels and this is amazing. Just wish we could get different colored labels

I bought this because it went on a lightning deal so I did not pay much at all for it. I suppose if you only want to print skinny Stamps.com labels and ebay labels it is an alright printer but I needed something with more options. It is a decent printer but not exactly for my business. I used it two weeks and resold fore more than I paid, so I suppose they hold their value.

I like this label maker so far. It is fast and makes nice labels and has a lot of options. I do not like the size - it is bigger than it looks in the pictures, and I almost returned it, but decided to keep and I'm glad I did. I also think its a bit pricey. But, I use it all the time. I have not used the stamp option yet. I would recommend to anyone looking for a label maker. As for the controversy around having to buy their labels, well that is the case with many products like printers, etc., so it does not bother me, but I'm not using it as a business.

Very nice Label printer. It works with a hardcode (holes on the support) that identifies which label sizes you are using. It would be useful to determine personalized label sizes by software or configuration.I have also not found how to cancel the auto-switch Off function. That means, I cannot leave the printer on for remote printing. (switches of automatically) Otherwise its a quit reliable printer. I am using it in a small company and it does its job.

I bought the QL-700 in order to make notes for myself. I wanted something affordable that could print text or images onto thermal paper. So far, it seems like it'll do exactly what I want it to. The only problem is, the installation CD was completely useless for me. I couldn't get the P-touch Editor to run after running the installer and following the directions.However, you don't actually need any of the software on the CD in order to use the basic functions. All you need to do is attach the device to your computer with the USB cable and press the "Editor Lite" button. Your OS will have access to a read-only USB device that contains a simple editor for both Windows and Mac OS. This editor doesn't need any special drivers. Just type your text or load an image and press the print button.tl;dr: The printer is fine for basic text and image printing, but you may have difficulty getting the advanced software on the CD to work.

I like the fact that it is a thermal printer and does not require ink. Had a heck of a time getting it to communicate with a Windows 10 computer, but after reinstalling drivers from Brother website, finally got it to work (hence the 4 out of 5 stars). I purchased this to make unlimited types of labels and it does the trick. With the Brother P-touch downloads, the look of the labels can be changed to an endless number of different styles. You can even do postage, but must pay USPS for that luxury.I would recommend this printer to anyone who needs to print out labels, keep their files neat, does a lot of mailing, or manages a small office.You can even buy non-OEM labels (from Amazon) and save a ton of money by doing so.

Nice little label printer. They offer a wireless one now. Mine needs a USB cable. which is fine for me.Turn it on and it offers printer software program that runs right off the screen.I have 9 computers in a network and find the networking software not reliable. That's where I have the printer on my home server and run the program on another computer. I had to fiddle with reloading - reconfiguring the printer and application more than once in 6 months .. My full size paper printer is connected to the server and I can print from any other computer or laptop in the entire house.. I never had to reload or reconfigure it in years...Office supply store are battleing each other... Like a Kodak camer the film is more expensive than the camer in the long run..The print quality even on off brand labels is fantastic.. I just bought the handheld P-200 as this printer must be used with a computer.. the P200 uses tape and will print anywhere. on batteries. Don't buy the 2 size label maker you can buy 2 of these cheeper and select your output by turning them on and off.. changing labels is 30 second job..

I ended up purchasing this after my QL-570 label printers were having some odd print driver issues (which eventually cleared themselves up).Concerning the hardware, the only major changes from the Brother QL-570 to the QL-700 is that (1) the print speed is indeed a little bit faster and (2) the sleeker form factor. The sleeker plastic shell does make the printer easier to clean and dust, but the fold-out collection tray of the QL-570 has been removed, which means that cut labels just fall off onto the surface below.Regarding the Windows software, there is definitely a learning curve. The QL-700 introduces a built-in 'P-Touch Editor Lite' which is ran from a small read-only drive inside the printer. Although, most users with experience using earlier Brother label printers, will probably want to stick with the standard 'P-Touch Editor,' which has both a simpler 'Express' mode and an advanced 'Professional' mode. (See screenshots added in 'Customer Images' for this item.)For those who already own QL-570 printers and only use their printers moderately or irregularly, I see no reason to upgrade. However, the increase in print speed may be worthwhile for very heavy users.

This printer is great for quick label printing and supper fast. However, the P-Touch Editor software that allows you to create your own label formats and link to your own databases (in my case SQL Server) is INSANELY complicated, though if you could actually master it you'd be able to do some great things.The user manual/guide just starts using terminology with virtually no overview or explanation of how anything fits together. I'm sure it makes sense to the programmers who wrote it but for an end user, even one who's been in the software programming biz for over 30 years as I have, it's an incomprehensible mess. Simple searches in the help systems for things that should be there turn up nothing. I called the tech support line with a couple of questions and the nice lady said "oh we have a guide we can send you by email". She sent two guides, neither of which applied, even remotely, to my questions.The printer itself is fast, quiet, small and a real bargain price-wise. There are a reasonable number of pre-designed templates to get me going so I'm giving it 4 stars for hardware, and if I could 1 for software. It would take me much longer to learn the custom label design software than I'm willing or able to spend; fortunately, you can get labels out of this device without doing them from scratch.

This machine is great, but save your money and get the larger one... Its cheaper to buy the best one now then to buy this one and then need the better one weeks later.

I'm not thrilled with this printer. I went through a lot of labels trying to figure the setup out. I ended up buying a Zebra to print shipping labels (which is why I bought this). I guess I'll keep this one to print inventory barcodes.

Not the best user interface. I cannot find the utility that brings up the shortcut(s) for this printer. The default is 'SHIFT' + 'CNTL' + 'L', which is a very popular shortcut in Photoshop, so every time i use photoshop, this printer albel utility pops up. Very frustrating. Also, don't just quickly tear off the label once it prints or it will tear the label in half rather than at the perforation end. The print quality is very good and you can use several built-in templates to print a postal bar-code on the label as well. Haven't tried the stamps utility yet until I find out how to change the UI, using search on the 'Help' function does not help either.

This is my third Dymo labelwriter, and by far the worst one. It takes 35 seconds for it to print the label. I can't believe it. If there is some thing I can do to make it respond promptly, I would love to know what to do. My previous ones printed very promptly.

Great hardware. Terrible support by dyno, in conjunction with eBay and usps. I still can't print a friggin label correctly, across any browser from Mac OS X 7,8,or 9, windows7, or iOS.

My printer will not form feed a label - form feed button does not eject a label. Cannot open printer enough to remove any possible paper jams. I got this printer to print Amazon product labels. Amazon does not provide the format of labels needed for the printer, so I cannot use the printer for the desired purpose.

Has a hard time keeping connected - says it is offline when it is showing up clearly in my device list. When it works it is great. I have a problem every time I change ot the roll of labels - it does recognize the connection

Makes great labels. I have to print in the highest quality in order for my bar code scanner to accurately read the labels. I suppose that could be my scanner. The included software is the problem. After using it for a month, the template that I had created has suddenly stopped working. When I scan something, it won't create a new barcode. I had to create a new template. Very baffling but the only thing that I can really complain about.

UPDATE: Since using this machine to print barcoded shipping labels via Etsy and Paypal, I've had many problems with USPS reading the barcode (even though they scanned fine at home with the USPS barcode app). So one day we stood on line at the post office to have them scan packages in front of us. NONE OF THEM SCANNED! The clerk then graciously tried them on "the machine in the back" to check again. Still, no success. Since purchasing this in June, many of my customers were wondering why it seemed like I made a label and never mailed their orders because post offices along the way couldn't scan them. Nail biting on both ends ensued. (Of course, manual input of the tracking number would be the solution and due to volume and time, most post offices didn't bother but I unfairly blamed them for being too lazy to scan at all.) These labels are simply too small to be properly read on post office scanners. I nearly stopped my business over the problem because it was too nerve-wracking wondering if my items would get to their proper destination. The product is fine as a label maker in and of itself and I will still use it. (I even figured out the "uneven font" thing by adjusting the setting in the QL-700 software.) I've since moved on to the Brother QL-1050 (it prints 4x6 labels that seem huge compare to the QL-700).ORIGINAL REVIEW:I'll try this again. I wanted to use a photo of the specifics but since Amazon thinks it contained personal info (e.g. including personal addresses, etc) they wouldn't let me share it. (It was a copy of an address label to which I had changed anything identifiable but they didn't pick up on that.) Well, here is the review anyway: My review for the QL-700 should be five stars for so many reasons but I'm all about the visual and the actual printing of names, etc. on my labels is not as nice as it would be on almost any other printer. HOWEVER, other than that, it is a lifesaver. I use these for printing labels for my small business: Bar codes are pristine (I use an app to scan them before bringing to the post office so I know there won't be any problem), the print is visible and essentially clear, just not as "even" as I might like. It also took some doing to get the label size to print across all the platforms I use (Paypal, Etsy, Word, PDF Pro). Needed adjustment so that I didn't waste label stock. All this being said, I highly recommend this item, even if you're a perfectionist "all about the visual." I wish everything was as efficient as this item. My life would be infinitely easier.

The label printer works well. Unfortunately the software does not appear to recognize what size paper is installed - meaning that you create templates to print labels only to have the print dialog say the the media size is wrong. The label software bundled on the disc with the printer is way out of date. Make sure you download the latest version - it is a lot more functional that the version on the disc. (-2 stars for poorly implemented software). Also -- my own fault, but I thought I was ordering the one which was wireless - this requires a USB connection. I guess I clicked the wrong button (no deduction for my stupidity, but if you are ordering a label printer for events -- make sure to get a WIRELESS one)

I bought this for FBA label printing along with other shipping labeling. If you plan to use it for printing FBA labels, yes, it will work but it will not print "continuously" because the label sizes used by this printer does not align with how Amazon FBA labels' are lay out in the PDF. In order for labels to print nicely, you will have to go to 'Edit' -> 'Snapshot' on each label, and right click to print, one by one, for each label.Otherwise, in terms of quality and speed, this is great for the price. Just wanted to put it out there for FBA sellers as I experienced this first hand myself.

We own a Brother QL-570 and bought a second, QL-700. Both are great label printers. The software is crappy. The PTedit50 software is mickey mouse and features things like when typing text, it disappears off screen on the left. So every edit requires moving the text box back to align with the upper left corner. The built-in Ptlite10 software on the QL-700 sounds great, but can't read the extensive set of labels created under the older Ptedit50. No conversion utility is provided or seems to be available. So every layout needs to be reentered new, a huge waste of time. The lite editor is lite and takes much longer to edit layouts than ptedit50. It looked like we could use ptedit50 with the newer QL-700, but the QL-700 printer driver for Windows 7 64-bit won't install and there does not seem to be any reason why or anything to do. It just says driver installation failed. So we can't use the ptedit50 user library and software and have to use the ptlite10.So, great label printer, crappy software. It is a shame really. Contracting for decent software is not hard. Brother management and marketing have a serious issue with competence. Buyer beware!

I bought this in hopes to make labels for my candles that I'm making. I returned this the day I got it, and got a full refund. There was no issue with that part of the process which is why I give them two stars. However, as soon as I opened the package I immediately started putting everything together. There is a button on the right hand side that you push in order to rewind the labels, so you can take it out without having to cut the label. Well This button worked twice, and then after that never worked again. The only button that did work was the one on the front that feeds the paper out.Well that was no big deal to me, I thought maybe there is an easy fix to that, rather than having to send it back, however, the next thing I know it has a paper jam. So, to fix the paper jam, I take the bottom piece off of the printer, and there I see my paper jam. I fix that, and go to put the bottom piece back onto the printer, and now the bottom piece will not go back onto the printer. So, I packed everything back up, and started my refund.I have never in my life had so many issues with a printer like this. The place I used to work at had a printer similar to this one, and it was super easy to work, and I never had issues with it, so I new that this printer was no where worth the money when the second I got it out of the package I started having problem after problem.

It's okay, but mine broke easily when I was trying to correct a jam (when the roll ran out). I only had it about 2 months.

Printer is good, documentation on setting up the printer and using the printer is wholly inadequate. It doesn't follow some of the Windows standard conventions ... and the documentation definitely does not just TELL you how this software ... and the file naming and organizational structure are different.I was annoyed that part of the "documentation" was inside of the software, so I had to get the software installed into my computer before I could see the documentation, and part of the documentation was on the DYMO website, and part of the documentation was in written form included with the printer. But none of these sources of documentation were complete.Also, my printer came with a CD ROM, but my computer doesn't HAVE a CD ROM reader. So, of course I simply went to the DYMO website to get the software. But, confusingly, the name of the file that I ultimately had to download from the website ... was different from the name of the file that was on the CD ROM. Lots of wasted time trying to figure it all out.If you're struggling as much as I was, don't waste time trying to figure it out, just call their Customer Support.

I bought it in May, it is now end of June and too late to return product to amazon. It took hours to set up. Once I got it to work on my Mac it printed as expected and even got through one roll of 100 labels. Then yesterday it stopped printing. I contacted DYMO for trouble shooting and did trouble shooting. We could not get it to work. It was very frustrating. Spent hours trying to figure it out , then out of the blue today it wants to work again. Very frustrating. Glad I didn't toss it or smash it against the wall like I wanted to yesterday. But it sucks that it does not work flawlessly.just thought I'd share my experience incase you run into the same situation.

As a label printer it's great. It prints labels fine. As a stamp printer it's great too, prints stamps fine. As a label printer and stamp printer, that's where it sucks. You have to switch rolls when you want to print labels or stamps. If I want to send a letter I have to print 3 labels and switch out the labels to do so. I'm returning this.BTW, When I tried to install this my computer would see it but the software would not see it. I had to finally download a firmware upgrade for the printer in order to get the Dymo software to use the printer. That took a few hours.

Used LW products 15 years ago with Mac products and had no problems, so purchased one for personal use on Mac Mini using OS 10.9.2. Have had problems. First, instructions do not tell you that you must connect UBS directly into computer and not a hub, so that led to many frustrations finally cleared up by LW help desk. Second, machine will not print and keep getting message that it is off line. The only way to make it work is to restart computer. Suspect that software needs to be updated. I would return it but it does meet my limited needs, however one of these days I may throw it out the window.

This is one of the most difficult things I've ever tackled. First, it does not work with Windows 10. I spent a tremendous amount of time getting it to, but all ended in frustration. Finally got it hooked up to an Apple computer, but not without extreme hassle. Had to look up how to download of software that the thing works from. More frustration. It is working now on the Apple computer, but there were times when I felt like throwing it in the garbage. Guess it now has newer editions that work better. I will let someone else figure those out.

don't understand why they have to add ever bell and what not you will never use the soft ware drives me nuts

If you think you are going to use your labels, think again.. you need to purchase Brother label "cartridges"

This Label Printer is incredibly difficult to use. I cannot for the life of me get it to print in a format that works with Etsy. I cannot use any software on my computer to downscale the label, or move any of the length width and height adjustments to make it work. This is really only useable for very small stamps and labels. I am sure the product is great for those purposes.

Will upgrade my review if I can get the software to work? 3 1/2 hours in, installing on2 separate win 7 machines. My issue is printer port, you have to chose during installand there's no way you can make a virtual USB printing port, the machine/softwareis supposed to do that. Purchased to make barcodes and wasted too many hourschasing my tail with this printer.Basic lite version works, P-touch 5.0 upgraded software does not. Very disappointed.Going to call Brother support, because I hate to be defeated by stuff like this. Snag isthe computer recognizes this printer same as a usb thumb drive/storage device, not asa printer when you try to install it to use the enhanced software. At lease it did in my case.Next move is to return to Amazon and say good riddance.Increased my rating to 2 stars, because of Amazon's no hassle return policy. If you're lookingfor a cheap thermal printer that can do basic labels? This machine might work for you.Cartridge type labels for this printer are a heck of a lot more expensive than generic rollsthat work in Zebra printers,I purchased a Zebra LP 2824 from Amazon that's 4 times the price with less issueson installs.

The software really stinks, and the print quality is not up to the competition. I have a Dymo label printer at home. I bought this Brother for my office. I'm sorry I did. The Dymo software is SO MUCH better and easier to use. The Brother software looks like it hasn't been updated since 1998.Also, the print quality resolution is not as good as the Dymo. Buy the Dymo, even if it is a few dollars more.

If NASA engineers were asked to develop a jamming machine that is guaranteed to jam on every use, be a pain in the butt to take apart and far worse to put back together they would win an award for ingenuity if they presented this devise of epic frustration to the scientific community. DYMO I bow my heads to you. Clearly with limited engineering know how you out performed NASA. You must have spent months saying - "not frustrating enough, go back and make it worse"And then Eureka you did it!!! You took a concept of a simple label writer, made every mistake possible and perfected the worlds first 100% guaranteed to work - label jammer. Well done - I applaud your efforts I used used your epic frustration device for five months now and it continues to amaze me. Each time I say "today it will work" But no - 4 labels later and I'm up to up elbows for 15-20 minutes fixing it again. The manufacturers of blood pressure medication must love you ... I however do not.Amazon if you are listening - I beg of you, give us the zero star option that we can use just once per year on the worst product ever conceived.

This is a lovely little printer that for labeling was doing the work really good! However, I just got it last December and lately the labels they are constantly getting stuck to the point that Its just too much! Today the thermal unit stop working and the labels are all coming out blank... So I'm wondering is this nice little printer suppose to only work for a few months? I need a replacement!

While I bought this a a means of printing labels and postage it works great for labels, but postage is a different story. Considering you ONLY can use DYMO postage labels but need to print a test label almost every time you stop and start again to use it, it's a waste of expensive labels and also if the labels mess up which mine has more times that I count now I have to request a postage refund from the stamp company which is a long, drawn out process. Printing labels or for that type thing it is great but for postage - it's cost me more in one month for error on printing postage than I have dealt with since I started shipping from home. For some reason the roll of blank stamp labels I have keep grabbing the next one in line which throws off the printing line and I wind up with it printing postage on a blank postage roll. You can't even see where it printed the postage so I have basically lost money because I can't prove it printed it incorrectly. I'm so done with it for postage and will probably list the machine on a second hand sight to sell as a label maker only. Would definitely not recommend for postage printing.

I purchased this label writer in October 2016 and it stopped working in December 2016. Just over the return period. This was a complete waste of money.I rarely write such harsh reviews but this product has completely failed me.

I have had this printer for three weeks. It installed without any problem and I was able to print one label and three stamps. Then I restarted my computer (iMac running El Capitan) - now the printer no longer works. I have removed and re-installed the software to no avail. I have search their online support files (which mostly focus on Windows issues) and found nothing. Even with the software re-installed, my Mac cannot find the printer. It just no longer works. I now have to go to the UPS store to get postage for the mailing I have ready to do. I have wasted money on this printer, on a roll of stamp labels and on money in an Endicia account I can not use.

The product is advertised that it works with QuickBooks, "prints directly from the software". The claim made on the box anyway. If you call there support line, they will tell you it does not work with QuickBooks 2013 or 2014. Out right false and misleading advertising.

I can't recommend this printer, the linux/ubuntu driver support is non-existent. None of the drivers on the download page work reliably, contacting support got me form letters and there isn't even an open source driver for it. I bought a Dymo to replace it and that works fine out of the box and is half the price. DYMO LabelWriter 450 Turbo Thermal Label Printer (1752265) Disappointing, as the Bother QL700 hardware itself seems quite well made.

They don't accept returns so make sure you order the right printer. Yay.

I was never able to get this Brother QL-700 High Speed Label printer to work with Microsoft 10 driver. It would never detect the printer and I could never find the correct driver. Wish I had bought it from local store so I could have returned it. Do not buy this product. If anyone can help with this problem please let me know.

Does not work well for Ebay labels.

DO NOT BUY! The DVD which came with doesn't work and the online doesn't as well , and keeps popping the its incompatible . tried two day and total waste of time.Plus this item s NOT RETURNABLE... But thanks to Amazon Customer Service, they are ab to help and put on the gift card so can Order NOT form Brother anymore.

Never get to print one single label. Unpacked the printer, connected it to the electricity and the PC. The driver was uploaded automatically. So far, so good. As soon as I attempted to print the first label, the printer made a popping sound and turned off. It never turned on again. I qualify this as dead on arrival.
