Breaking News 11th March 2021: FIX - Dymo Labelwriter suddenly starts printing blank labels in Win 10
If you noticed that your LabelWriter 450 or Labelwriter Wireless has suddenly started printing blank labels recently then this is likely why - check out this statement on the Dymo website:
"We are sorry to inform you that at the moment we are experiencing some issues with printing from our latest versions of DYMO Software on Windows 10 computers. We would like to confirm that the team is working on fixing it and as a temporary solution, please download DYMO Label Software v.8.5.4"
This issue seems to have occurred suddenly in the last day or so, and the problem is that the printer stops printing labels and instead just ejects blank labels.

This issue started happening to our company yesterday. It turns out that any computer that had windows 10 that got auto updated on 3/10/2021 got this problem. It is a security update on window's that affected the computers. We removed the security update on Window's 10 that happened on 03/10/2021 and we are able to print to the Dymo's again, not printing blank anymore.

Thanks, that seems like another solution that people can use. Either roll back the update or install the older Dymo software (which we think is better anyway) or wait for Dymo to fix the issue.
Can't find any update that occurred on 10/03/2021
Thank you SO much for posting this obvious solution (obvious, but I wouldn't have figured it out without your post). Going back to the last version of Dymo wasn't working for me, but uninstalling the Windows update did. You saved me!
Thanks for the tip Rick after spending hours I came across your method and it worked!
yes, this helped! thank you
PER FAVORE AIUTO, NON RIESCO A SCARICARE NESSUNA VERSIONE, NEPPURA QUELLA CONSIGLIATA E PER ALTRO HO SEGUITO IL CONSIGLIO DI ELIMINARE IL VECCHIO PROGRAMMA, QUINDI MI SENTO SPAESATA E NON SO USARE NEANCHE BENE IL PC .... COME POSSO RISOLVERE ? HO BISOGNO DI STAMPARE LE ETICHETTE DEI MIEI PRODOTTI.
GRAZIE

Please note that we are not Dymo, we are a Dymo reseller, so there is nothing we can do to help with this problem other than report that it exists, and that Dymo's fix is to load the older version of the software (from their website not ours).
If you are having problems with Dymo or their website there is unfortunately nothing we can do about that.
Ti consiglio di riscriverlo in inglese, simao nella pagina GB
The answer is still the same.
I cant download the DYMO Label Software v.8.5.4 software the website is timing out
Please email me a download
We are not Dymo, we're a reseller, we don't have the software. If you are having problems with Dymo's website please contact Dymo, there is nothing we can do about their website.
I had the same problem.
I opened the download link in a new tab and copied the URL before it timed out on me. This is the URL: http://download.dymo.com/dymo/Software/Win/DLS8Setup.8.5.4.exe
I then put that URL in a tab on its own and was able to download it (it was pretty slow).
I hope that helps. Good luck.
Here is the command to roll back the update:
wusa /uninstall /kb:5000802
We are running custom apps that require a specific version of the SDK and we cannot roll back our Dymo software.
THIS REALLY WORKED!!!! TYSMMMMMM - was struggling for days until I came across this forum!
I haven't installed the security update in question: still prints black blank labels....Why does MS always mess things up! A billion-pound company that cannot sort simple issues.
This is also affecting the DYMO.Connect.SDK as of the latest version 1.3.1.115 on March 4, 2021. Based on our VM snapshots for Win10 Pro, the last working WinVer we have is OS Build 19041.746 where updating to OS Build 19042.867 breaks it.
You should report that to Dymo (www.dymo.com) as they probably don't read our blog
Rolling back the Windows March 12, 2021 updates worked for us. Uninstalling Microsoft Windows Update (KB50000802). Thanks for the information. We thought the first label printer just went bad, but when a 2nd & 3rd were reported not working we knew it was more then just a defective printer.
Thank you for this. I had figured it out based on the timing, but it is nice to have confirmation. In the Dymo fix they mention that installing V 8.5.4 will make address fixer not work. Has address fixer worked for anyone for the last 6 months or so on 8.7?
Same here, address fixer hasn't worked in version 8.7 for quite some time now. I talked to CS and it sounded like they were permanently disabling it the software (shutting down the server for it). She didn't have a good reason why.
This is very disappointing, as it was a very nice feature that helped speed delivery by adding the plus 4 zip.
The Dymo connect software is absolutely wretched. Why did they have to mess this up? I would literally not buy a Dymo if I had to use that software. Dymo 8.7 was perfect and the address fixer was so nice.
There's no need to use the new Connect software if you don't want to. The old software is still on the Dymo website, and we're still using Dymo Label Software 8.7...
Thank you! Saved my day.

tried solution 1- Uninstalling the latest Windows update. restart but did not work
tried solution 2- Downloading and installing our DYMO Label Software v.8.5.4.
IT WORKS! Printing label now.
spent a couple of hours to fix.

This site was so helpful. I wish I would have found it before I spend hours trying different computers, versions of dymo, usb cables, etc...
I have a similar but slightly different problem with our dymo label.
It is not just shooting out the blank labels, but the whole label is colored in black.
does anyone have the same problem?
@GYU Its the same issue, both my LabelManager PNP and the LabelManager Wireless PNP started to print out black box images instead of labels. I went back to the 8.5.4 software (I prefer V8 over V9) and it resolved the issue. That said there is a fix out for the Connect software but I've not tested it yet.
Some heroes don't wear capes. Thank you, quick resolution.
There is a windows update released which resolved this on March 15th which you can download via the catalog
