Default Network Dymo label printer?

So, plug it into a Pi3 and share it but is it supported by Linux?


Yes, there's a CUPS driver. It's even written by Dymo:

Works on the Pi too:

That makes it a printer - you can print to it from any software.
However you probably want to look around for suitable label software, since
some features of label software (eg resizing text to fit the label) aren't
standard on normal wordprocessors.

(The CUPS driver also avoids the pile of bloatware that is the official Dymo
software)
