Exactly the reason I messed with Dymo software - it's simpler. The size of the label is inside the .lbw file and nowhere else; it bypasses the whole mess with dozen cooks salting the stew (aka printing under Windowses).
But then, I didn't have to distribute it anywhere, it only had to run on a couple of machines in the office, and I had the IT guy run the setups.
