Issues with a small printer
Hello everyone,
I am not big on computers and gadgets and that's why I need your help.
Recently I've bought a label writer and I have issues with installing it on my computer.
I know that the device works perfectly, because on my friends computer it works perfectly. But on mine it does not.
My computer is this one: Dell XPS 13 Touch (2016 Rose Gold Edition)
The device I'm using is this one: Dymo LabelWriter 450
If anyone could help me that would be great. The issue is that my computer won't even recognise the device when I plug it in.
Thanks,

This printer does not have a native Windows 10 driver. According to its manufacturer, the driver should work with 10 if you set it for Windows 7 compatibility mode.
That's done as shown here:
