 Hi folks,

 I was wondering if anyone has any data on
 the Dymo Labelwriter 330 Turbo?

 I seem to recall downloading the command format fr om

 Keep looking. Did you try downloading the SDK
 through the Developers
 tab? Maybe there's a document in there.

 If you can't find it you can always use a machine
 with two serial
 ports (serial protocol analyzer to snoop the
 traffic. HP serial
 protocol analyzers up to 19200bps units go pretty
 cheap on ebay these
 days if you want a stand-alone. This is not a task

  yourself if you
 cannot find documentation.

Thanks for that, if no-one can help I'll look
out for that piece of kit on eBay and get
myself a laptop (I hate MS & Windoze)

I did some research before buying myself the
Labelwriter, and some guy (I forget his name)
has written a driver for a modern printer
so he could use it with his retro one.
He used software to intercept the data being
sent/recieved, rather than some equipment.

I also hooked up the Labelwriter to my Amiga
600, and used AMOS BASIC to try and get it
to print something by sending random data
(perhaps a bad idea) to it with no luck.
I did, however, confirm that the Amiga
recognised that the printer was connected.
