Does DYMO Connect work with DYMO LabelWriter 400?
No, DYMO Connect does not support the LabelWriter 400. DYMO Connect is compatible with more recent models like the LabelWriter 450 and LabelWriter Wireless.
The LabelWriter 400 should work with DYMO Label Software (DLS) – an older version of DYMO Connect. You can download and install it from the DYMO official website.

Before you start, ensure your Windows is updated to the latest version. This will keep issues like Dymo printing blank labels after Windows Update at bay.
