OK, I can't see how that happened so for now I'll rule it out as a
possibility.
If these are Dymo label printers, I'm pretty sure they image the print
job on the PC, in the PC's memory, then stream the resulting bit-map
to the printer's print head through the USB connection as a serial
stream of on-off bits. In other words, the actual label printer has
little or no intelligence. That also means that the print job size can
be pretty large on the PC in the spool depending on the label's
content (logos, barcodes, text.)
So, multiple systems with identical problems that have not been
updated in any way...I would suspect the Windows Print Spooler service
and the uninstall/reinstall to reinitialize the print spool.
I'll try out the uninstall/reinstall next week.
Have you tried setting the printer driver to print direct to the
printer without spooling the data stream? It will likely cause the
computer to become sluggish while printing (since it will be feeding
the printer "up front") and it might cause the print job to not print
100%, but it would be worth a try to see if bypassing the spooling on
the workstation resolves the problem.
I will check that too. The job is really small: a bar code, a name and
a couple short lines of text to print on an address label.
