Print labels from this computer on Windows or Mac
Print from this computer means your label goes through the normal print dialog on your Windows PC or Mac, to whatever printer is already set up there. A DYMO, a Brother, a Rollo, an inkjet with Avery sheets. If you can print a document to it, you can print a label to it. No signup.
How it works
The page is the size of your label
Send one label to your printer
Open the DYMO 30252 address label, or change the size to your own, and print one to check.

It's the printer you already have
There's nothing extra to install for this one.
Your computer already knows how to talk to your printer. You set that up the day you plugged it in. So when you click Print here, the label goes to the same print dialog a document would.
The part that matters is the page. The page we send is exactly the size of your label. A 4 x 6 label is a 4 x 6 page, not a small picture in the middle of a letter sheet.
That's why it comes out the right size, as long as nothing shrinks it on the way.

3How to
How to print from this computer
Do one label first. It takes a minute, and it saves a roll.
When that one looks right, send the rest.
- Open https://app.mylabelmaker.com and pick the size on your roll or sheet. No signup.
- Make the label.
- Click Print and choose Print from this computer.
- In the print dialog, pick your printer and the same paper size as your label.
- Set the scale to 100 percent and turn off Fit to Page.
- Print one and hold it against the roll.
4By printer
Which printers go this way
Almost all of them. The only one with a second route is Zebra.
On a Chromebook it depends on the printer. Labels on a Chromebook explains it.
- DYMO. Pick the part number on your roll in the driver. DYMO labels has the sizes.
- Brother. Choose your tape or DK roll in the print dialog. See Brother labels.
- Rollo and other 4 inch thermals. Set the paper to 4 x 6. See Rollo labels.
- Inkjets and lasers. Load your sheets and print at 100 percent. See Avery labels.
- Zebra. It can print this way too, or straight from the browser with Zebra Browser Print.
5When it comes out wrong
If the label comes out wrong
Nine times out of ten, it's one setting.
If the label is tiny, or sits in the corner of the page, something is scaling it. Look for Fit to Page, Shrink to Fit, or a scale that isn't 100 percent.
If it's cut off, the paper size in the dialog doesn't match the roll. A 4 x 6 label sent to a driver set to 2 x 1 will only ever print the part that fits.
If it comes out sideways, check the orientation in the print dialog. A wide label should print landscape and a tall one portrait.
Blank labels on a thermal printer usually mean the roll needs calibrating, or it's in upside down. That one isn't the page at all.

Why is my label printing tiny?
Something is scaling it. Set the scale to 100 percent, turn off Fit to Page, and make sure the paper size matches your label.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes. It works on Windows and Mac, with whichever printers that computer can already print to.
Do I need Zebra Browser Print?
Not for this. Browser Print is only for sending a job straight from the browser to a Zebra. Print from this computer uses your normal print dialog.
