Issue: DYMO printer cannot be found
Cause: The properties for the printer may need to be adjusted or the driver may not be installed correctly.
Solution: Check the properties for the printer and perform an uninstall/reinstall to ensure that the print driver is completely installed if necessary.
If your DYMO printer is not showing up as an option to select when going through the steps to set it up in Stratify, it's possible that its properties may need to be adjusted as detailed below.
Navigate to your computer's Control Panel and click View devices and printers under the "Hardware and Sound" section.
Right-click on the DYMO printer and select Printer properties from the menu.
Under the Security tab, check to make sure that permissions for Print, Manage this printer, and Manage documents are set to Allowed.
The easiest way to set this up for all accounts on the computer is to choose "Everyone" under the "Group or user names" section and then check the boxes for the permissions.
Once these checkboxes are selected, click Apply to save the change.
Re-run the IL Print Setup in Stratify under Settings>Print Settings>Set Up a Printer.
If these settings are already in place or don't seem to make a difference, try uninstalling and reinstalling the DYMO driver on your computer by following the steps below:
Disconnect the power cable from your printer.
Fully delete all current driver downloads completely from your computer - This step is CRUCIAL. If you only install the correct driver version without first uninstalling the one you already have, your issue will not resolve.

Download and install the latest version of the DYMO driver (not DYMO Connect) from the DYMO website. For your convenience, the file is located below:
v8.7.4 for Windows download file
Find the DYMO software download in your download folder (or the location on your computer designated for downloaded files.) Double-click the file and follow the install instructions.
Once the software has been installed, make sure the DYMO software is set to run on startup.
Plug your printer back in and turn it on after your driver has been installed.
Make sure your printer is installed on your computer (after a driver update, many times it is not. This will cause it to not be recognized in IL).
To check on Windows 10, click Start>Control Panel>View Devices and Printers. Since your printer is plugged in during this step, Windows should automatically recognize your printer to select.
Re-run the IL Print Setup in Stratify under Settings>Print Settings>Set Up a Printer and try printing a test label.
