Address book won't switch printers

[Mike Adams]

I just attached a Dymo label maker, and want to print out address labels from Address book. Even though the Dymo printer is selected in the print options, Address book still prints to the laser printer. I am running a G4 using 10.3.7

Any ideas?

When the print dialog box comes up, are you checking to make sure you have the Dymo selected there?

 

[Mike Adams]

Yes, I have attached (I think) a picture of the options immediately prior to printing.

No picture... can you try re-attaching it?

 

[Mike Adams]

Well, it says it has attached the file but I can't see anything in the editing mode.

 

[ElDiabloConCaca]

Hmmm... it doesn't give you any warnings about the file being too big, does it?

Also, once you've hit "Choose file" and selected the file, are you clicking the "Attach files" button, or just closing the window?

Hmmm...

 

[Mike Adams]

This should be small enough, I didn't see the file size limit before

 

[Mike Adams]

Aaaaaargh!! I attached the wrong file! The real one says LabelWriter 330 next to Printer.

 

[ElDiabloConCaca]

In the "Printer Setup Utility" located in the Utilities folder, could you temporarily make the LabelWriter 330 the default printer, then try printing again?

 

[Mike Adams]

Yes, that's how I get it to work, but it is a pain and presumeably I shouldn't have to do that. I can also print from the software that comes with the label printer, but that is also not always the optimal solution.
