Use the "Windows Download link" to get the relevant version of the DYMO software.  NOTE: the standard download location does not yet have this version.

The latest version of Chrome has exposed a weakness in DYMO's direct printing.  For the details, read here:

A work-around is to use the following setting:

chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost


Update:  we discovered an unfortunate side-effect of using this setting is that valid https sites might show certificate errors.
