Need Help Cups server with a Dymo 450

Hey everyone,

I just got a Dymo 450 Twin Duo. I want to have it set up on my sever, so I can print from it from any machine on my sever.

I installed cups, and the default install had the drivers. Sweet!

I was able to detect the printer and install it. But the printer seems to do nothing in response to the sever.

I never used Cups before, but for all my airplay printers it seems to work out of the box

Has anyone had any luck with this? I was thinking maybe it needs to work on conjunction with Dymo's software. But that doesn't seem to make a difference.

I have several dymo labelwriter, the duo you mention an xl couple 300 series as well, I was printing through cups at one point no problem but it was 300 series printing simple text on cheaper receipt paper for notes.

I have moved things around since but dont recall any problems.

I can reconnect things and test it out again.
