8-10 Sec delay between jobs DYMO 450 Turbo USB

[aspecteleven]

I've got a DYMO 450 Turbo hooked up via USB and CUPS on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Ubuntu Mate 16.04.2. It prints immediately for the first print, but has a delay of 8-10 seconds between every job after that. My buddy and I have been searching the internet for over a week trying to find a solution, but haven't found anything that works.

I've tried a suggestion you made to another user of adding the 0xVENDOR 0xMODEL unidir, but that didn't work (0x0922 0x0021 unidir).

Noted from the syslog, it appears the printer disconnects between jobs:
usblp0: removed

The driver I have installed is from http://www.dymo.com/en-US/dymo-label-sdk-and-cups-drivers-for-linux-dymo-label-sdk-cups-linux-p--1#

Any suggestions?

Does the same issue happen for the bundled Dymo label printer driver?

You might try using "no-reattach" in the quirks file as well.

Ok, so I did a fresh install, updated/upgraded. Installed CUPS, and the DYMO 450 Turbo using the bundled driver (which I didn't know even existed until you mentioned it). That didn't immediately fix it.

I then tried using "unidir" and this time it worked like a charm!

In summary - Raspberry Pi 3, Ubuntu Mate 16.04.5 LTS, DYMO 450 Turbo, installed DYMO with bundled driver, set quirks file with "0x0922 0x0021 unidir"

Thanks, Michael!

I have the same problem, or a similar one.
The tips used here do not bring improvement.

When I start a print on a LabelWriter 450 Turbo, it takes about 6-7 seconds until the print starts. The printing itself is then very slow. At the end of printing, the printer pauses for about 1-2 seconds and then advances the last piece of the label.

System is a Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspian - but I have the same problem on a current Ubuntu on my workstation.

Does anyone know about this problem or have an idea where I could tackle this problem?

Did you ever find a solution to the delay @codeprofis? Just set this up and having the same issue!

Hey @aspecteleven, what do you mean when you say you tried using the "unidir". Just set this up and the delay is really annoying!

Hi,

Still experiencing exactly the same issue as @codeprofis and @AdrianwithaW describe :

When I start a print on a LabelWriter 450 Turbo, it takes about 6-7 seconds until the print starts. The printing itself is then very slow. At the end of printing, the printer pauses for about 1-2 seconds and then advances the last piece of the label.

On Debian 10, with bundled driver or official driver.
Tried various changes on the quirks file, unidir, no-reattach, with no success.

Does anybody have solved this one ? Any idea ?
Cheers

Same issue here. Looking forward to an answer.
I see that 0x0922 0x0021 unidir is the last line in /usr/share/cups/usb/org.cups.usb-quirks but since it's having this issue, perhaps there is a regression somewhere.
Using CUPS 2.2.10

unidir breaks the driver, as it is expecting backchannel data to be able to print. The slowness is caused by all the backchannel reads having a 2.5 second timeout value

Hi @aspecteleven, @michaelrsweet
Could you please show me how to use bundled driver for dymo labelWriter 450 Turbo?
I also have the same delay issue on Ubuntu 18.04.6
