Hello Chris,

unfortunately your Wine 1.6.2 is too old (even if it's the last available
stable version).

The app suffers from multiple bugs and won't work even with latest Wine 1.7.22.

The biggest hurdle (even if all bugs get fixed which is very unlikely in near
future): you require the label printer to be recognized properly by Linux
first.

If the vendor doesn't provide a native printer driver for Linux or the Linux
kernel doesn't have builtin support you are out of luck and Wine can't help you
here (Wine is not an operating system, hardware driver support is out of
scope).
Your best bet would be a VirtualBox "Windows" machine with USB pass-through.

The app requires at least .NET Framework 3.5 installed (Mono won't work due to
several things, WPF 3.x at foremost).

-> clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX + 'winetricks -q dotnet35sp1'

You could still upgrade to recent Wine 1.7.x series, preferably Wine 1.7.21/22.
If you don't know how to upgrade Wine (http://www.winehq.org/download) seek
help in WineHQ user forums (http://forum.winehq.org/).

Hello again,

it seems there is an option to use the label printer over network instead of
local connection (USB)?
If that's the case there might be a small chance to get it to work.

You additionally need to apply the following recipes:

'winetricks -q corefonts' (bug 32323)
'winetricks -q windowscodecs' (bug 34764)

You could try to execute 'DymoPrinterWizard.exe' ("cd" to the folder first).
It brings up some 'Add Network Printer' dialog, showing 'Scanning for printers'
status.
Unfortunately I can't help you here since a proper network printer setup is
something you should do on your own (just like on Windows).

There is a non-working service 'DymoPnpService.exe'.
Interestingly one of the rare Windows services that creates windows (which
obviously fails), not sure if this is a critical component to the app.

Regards

Thank you very much...

i made it work. i put some drivers that i found via google search and read the
instructions (http://www.smartfruit.com/?p=188), then i installed the glabels
and made it working...

it's little different but i think i will do my work that i need it.

Hello Chris,

I see you found a native Linux solution from the vendor page.
Good to hear it works for you.

Maybe I will still dig out some issues from the Windows version of the app that
will help/improve other apps :)
