Don't Purchase 550 for RX Label useThis printer has great potential with the new ethernet port, however in our industry there are over 28,000 Veterinary clinics in the US. Most all of these hospitals currently have at least one Dymo 330, 400, or 450 for the printing of RX labels. These hospitals will unfortunately not be able to use this product! This new printer does not allow for generic manufactured labels. Labels must come from Dymo, yet Dymo doesn't produce a RX sized label that is printed with a warning "Keep out of Children's Reach. For Veterinary Use only". This label is required by law by the FDA. CFR - Code of Federal Regulations Title 21.

Software IssuesWe operate over 300 Dymo Labelwriter 450's and 400's. We're now trying to integrate the new 550 into our environment, which includes Windows 10 workstations connecting to terminal servers.
The new Dymo "Connect" software will not install onto Windows Server (they told me server 2016, but it fails to install on 2019 as well). Attempts to install result in "The operating system is not adequate for running DYMO Connect". I never had any issues with Dymo Label v.8 on Windows Server.
That, and Dymo's attempt at pulling a Keurig with this "only official labels" stuff is making me rather upset at this point.

Do not buy this printerWe use multiple Dymo printers, and we have the option to use other labels in the printer. I thought we would have the same experience with this one, but unfortunately we did not. All Dymo says is "sorry for the inconvenience, but the box says only use our labels.." That doesn't fix the problem with working with our system and using all the labels we have- and now we have a printer that is unusable. Calling Dymo wont fix the problem either, they dont care and wont do anything about it. Nice job guys. You've lost my business and the word will spread about your poor product. Very disappointing.

DYMO User For Decades, But No LongerTried to replace one of the several DYMO 450s I have at my business only to find they've been discontinued and replaced with the 550. As others have noted, you can no longer use your own generic rolls of paper with them any more which means I would have to do away with my business logo that's pre-printed on rolls costing a fifth of the price of theirs. You'll notice if you get on Amazon that customers are not allowed to leave reviews on the new printers, presumably because they don't want people to know about the change before buying one. I'm switching to a different brand and I'd bet good money DYMO will be out of business within a few years.

Propietary Nonsense and No Linux SupportThis has got to be one of the biggest jokes of a followup product I've ever seen.
For seemingly no other reason than greed, Dymo has introduced a followup to the LW450 that requires you to use labels with a proprietary RFID chip that the printer requires in order to print. Which means any previous Dymo labels you already have in stock just straight up don't work. Even with a limited exchange program, huge slap in the face to consumers.
The next issue: this printer no longer works with Linux CUPS drivers.
The LW450 works perfectly with Linux using CUPS.
This one does not. Which means I'm returning it.

More like "Automatic Label REJECTION..."Our company has heavily used Dymo 450s over the years, and I was hopeful the 550s would be even better with Ethernet connectivity as an option. So I bought one to test, despite reading about not being able to use custom labels. I was hopeful this would not be the case.
Unfortunately, my suspicions were correct. The 550 Turbo did not recognize our company-branded custom labels used to serialize all of our products. This is a dealbreaker. I can live with manually changing the label size on the 450 if it means being able to use the custom-printed labels we've spent hundreds of dollars on.
Steer clear of the LabelWriter 550/550 Turbo if you depend on it for business purposes - and take good care of your existing 450/450 Turbos.

Forced to buy labels at the company store!DO NOT PUCHASE THE 550 model unless you want to be forced to puchase special Dymo labels at a huge premium in price. For two decades we have used mostly 3rd party labels in over 320 Veterinary Hospitals successfully with Dymo printers all the way back to the SE250 model. Now Dymo requires their special RFID marked labels??? Dymo does not even make the special sized label we need for small pill bottles and packages. Good bye Dymo.

Frustrated Customer from
Sneaky Marketing PloyIT delivered this printer as a replacement for the 450 Turbo they took from us. Turns out DYMO had added an RFID sticker on the cores of their labels, which prevents the 550 printer series from using thrid party labels. So, not only do we now have to purchase DYMO labels at 4x the cost, but we can't even use the old DYMO labels we happened to have on hand. Good job, DYMO, you've found a way to upset & frustrate your customers by labeling this hurdle as a "feature".
