hello martin.
that's very interesting. i spoke to dymo earlier today. the guy was
helpful, but the software wasn't. they're on 8.5.1 now, and still
haven't fixed the issues that were reported. also, dymo printers don't
appear to print on continuous tape. they have pre-cut labels that you
can buy. brother printers do print on a continuous roles. i'm
considering the brother QL500A, but the only put off at the moment is
the fact that its got a manual cutter. what i'm trying to figure out is
if i'll have to sit next to it and cut each label manually when its
printing, or if it marks the role so you can cut them with scissors if
its printing labels continuously. there's always something...
all the best,
Mo.

Hi mo:
Speak to the people at www.dymo.com
The europian support are very good. I had a problem when moving to windows
7 where my old dymo 320 didn't work with win 7, thyey replaced my printer
for free, as that's what they do, then the new softwaere for the 450 was not
accessible. Dymo helpdesk helped me to trouble shoot the problem, then rig
the old version 7.8 softweare to work with the new printers. They know
about accessibility, and are very proactive. Btw, I don't know if they have
a newer version of their 8.5 software out where they have fixed
accessibility out of the box, if they haven't fixed accessibility, they can
work around so an older version will work with win 7.
Hope to hear from you soon.
From Martin.

Mo
I have a Brother QL-570 which is useable.
It meets your criteria, but I recall having great issues in getting it
recognized by Word and other Office programs.
As this was almost three years ago, I can't now recall the details but this
list was helpful.

Subject: [access-uk] Advice Wanted: Accessible Label Printer?
Hello Everyone.
I'm shopping in search of an accessible easy to use address label printer. I
would like something that you can use to print labels reliably where the
address isn't just printed on 1 edge of the label as some printers tend to
do unless you use a fancy click and drag interface to drag the print to
where you want it. is there such a device? if there is, is the included
software accessible? are all fields and screen content labeled in the
application? or if printing from word, is the addon accessible? any advice
greatfully received. many thanks in advance.
all the best,
Mo.
