The most difficult to make work when you go from windows to a linux distribution is that some programs or hardware you have is not working anymore. One of those is DYMO. I have DYMO labelwriter 450 and it was very difficult to find how can i print labels with my ubuntu system. And it was urgent because some times i print over 200 labels per month. So i give you as simple as can be how to install it and use your DYMO printer on ubuntu. I found the instructions on http://www.smartfruit.com/?p=188. Here is the step you need to use the Dymo on it. Step 1: Download Dymo Linux SDK. You’d get something like “dymo-cups-drivers-1.4.0.tar.gz“. Step 2: Install libcups2-dev libcupsimage2-dev sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev libcupsimage2-dev gcc g++ Step 3: Install the SDK mkdir dymo cd dymo tar xzf dymo-cups-drivers-1.4.0.tar.gz cd ./dymo-cups-drivers-1.4.0.5/ ./configure make sudo make install Now the driver is installed. Step 4: Set up the CUPS Now, go to the CUPS admin page. Don’t forget to connect the Dymo to your machine. Here are the screen shots of how I set it up. Step 5: Install gLabels gLabels is a GNOME application for printing labels. Thanks for whoever developed this. It is well designed and made. You can also find it in ubuntu software center. Step 6: Set up the template I had to try a few times to get the template working. Ones showing here is not 100%, but it is working OK. Step 7: Create a label. Now, in gLabels, you create a label. New document and pick the template you created.
And you are ready to print! p.s. I hope i helped a lot! |
