Yes, #Dymo, I'm looking at you.

I wrote something similar-but-different to this a ways back. Hoping I have better #reach now.

I've got an #annoying problem using #CUPS to print from a #Debian Linux machine to a USB-attached DYMO #LabelWriter-450 thermal #label #printer.

I'm generating the image to print myself, with the correct number of pixels for the label media in question. The printer is supposed to be able to print edge-to-edge, top-to-bottom, but it always starts printing 6mm / 1/4" down from the top.

1/7 See if I can harness the knowledge of the hive-mind...

I have a Dymo LabelWriter 450 label printer. I use Linux and am a software engineer, so the easiest/best way (I thought) for me to create lots of labels programmatically was to generate bitmaps with the tools I'm familiar with, and dump them as images to the printer.

It "works", but if that was the whole story, I wouldn't be writing here.

A thread, looking for advice/experience.
