DYMO 1755120 LabelWriter 4XL Thermal Label Printer

I have been using this printer for a couple of years now, and I give this 2-2.5 stars. PROS: — It is an aesthetically pleasing product. Although it has a few years now, it still looks fresh and sleek. — Speed of printing is satisfactory — Noise levels are minimal (it is completely silent when idle, and fairly quiet while printing), that's a huge plus! — Durability is good CONS: — Installation is a nightmare, the driver is not downloaded automatically by Windows, and one has to search for it manually. Second problem is, they are nowhere to be found, it is as if Dymo does not want you to install it. Out of the frustration, then you may guess "maybe that Dymo Connect thing might help?" and it does, if you manage to download it! And when you finally do, it is not even the lastest version. Dymo needs to hire better people. —Then, many of these machines are faulty. My first one broke ("the last USB you connected to this computer malfunctioned") the first day, after a single print. It was unfixable so I had it returned. The second has been lasting longer, but has this problem rising (without any notice) every now and then. It is fixable, but takes about 15-20 minutes every time. Too much for a printer you actually pay for (remember that they restrict you to use only their uber-expensive labels). — (minor) The machine comes with a huge power brick, same size as the ones that come with much bigger devices. I have no doubt that there's a better way around this in the 21st century. * (minor) The blue LED light cannot be turned off (not good if your bedroom/studio apartment doubles as a shipping station). Not a major problem, but it accumulates.
