My Dymo message says "no Labelwriter found"... I have changed USB cables. Reinstalled new software. Tried to do firmware update... but can't since "no Labelwriter is found". I've plugged and unplugged. I've renamed escal.bmp.

The Dymo functions.. loads paper, lights are on and unit function seem normal...

Any Help?

I have experienced the same problem on two different PCs. Both running Windows XP. On one I tried uninstalling then downloading the latest drivers and re-installing, but still does not work.

I have the same problem. The funny thing is, another PC had the same problem too, but somehow cleared up and is working now. I tried to do everything I did on that PC to this PC and it's just not working.

What I did on the other made no sense. I unistalled, reinstalled, and restarted before trying to print. It came back up and it worked. But that solution is not working on this printer.

Make sure you only have one DYMO Labelwriter printer in "Printers and Faxes". If you have more than one, select the appropriate one from the "Change Printer" option on the "File" menu item in the DYMO Label Software.

A combination of all of the above solutions fixed the problem so, thanks all. We had one in our office that worked perfectly right out of the box. We then shipped it to another office because they needed it more than we did. Shortly after we ended up buying another one which gave us the grief. The new one worked fine on a laptop with a clean install of XP, on the other two machines which had the drivers and software previously installed it was nothing but bewildering forehead bruising grief.
