DYMO 4XL on Ubuntu 14.04

Prerequisites

sudo apt-get install build-essential libcups2-dev libcupsimage2-dev

Set up CUPS driver

Download the Linux toolkit from DYMO

Extract

tar xvf dymo-cups-drivers-1.4.0.tar.gz

change to directory of extracted files

cd dymo-cups-drivers-1.4.0.5/

configure the CUPS driver

./configure

compile the driver

make

install the driver

sudo make install

Now you can go to http://127.0.0.1:631 and add the printer. Use your Ubuntu username and password when it asks you for admin login. If everything went as it should, when choosing the 4XL’s driver, you should see a big list of DYMO printers.

Lots of DYMO label printers to choose from, thanks to the DYMO Toolkit we just installed!
