I have the newest MacBook Air, I recently purchased this Rollo printer but the USB that comes with the printer to connect to your computer I can’t connect to my MacBook because my MacBook doesn’t have a USB input. do you know what I can do?
I got a different printer but it’s the same exact style at the rollo. But it doesn’t give me the option to choose a driver? It just lets me add it, and it doesn’t work when I try to print my labels.
My Rollo printer skips the first few lines and sometimes the label is printed in a skewed way. Can you please give me advice? Thanks in advance!
does this also print 1x2 labels for books on amazon
My Rolo printer on Mac has scale percentage next to orientation and won’t print correctly, it cuts off. Any suggestions?

I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem - I have a MacBook Pro (always auto updates to the latest Operating System release) and I use Chrome Browser (also always updated to most recent release). I only sell a few things here and there on eBay, but it seems like every time I turn on the Rollo, attach my USB cord from laptop to the Rollo, set up the label, then try to print that shipping label via the Rollo, the Rollo thermal printer no longer exists as an option in my "Printers and Scanners" section. When I hit "print", the only option that shows is my old trusty HP office printer. Why does the Rollo Thermal Printer keep disappearing after I have previously and successfully downloaded the drivers and it worked when printing the label right after downloading said drivers? How do I get it to stay as an option in my "Printers and Scanners" section of my MacBook? I have had to navigate to this KZread tutorial out of frustration 5 times now over the past few months. Every time I've hit the "+" sign to add it (the Rollo printer), signed in with my admin password on my Mac to allow that to happen, and it then successful shows as an added printer. Then where does it go? Why does it drop off my "Printers and Scanners" list, and why do I constantly have to re-add it and re-download the drivers? Any help or advice appreciated. I must be doing something wrong.
Would you recommend to turn of after use or leave on?

Hi this is not working properly, I have these weird size options, not the 4x6. am i missing something, I followed the steps two times and the sizes are like nothng ive seen before as series of numbers and letters.
I’m having trouble with printing, whenever I stick paper from the back it will automatically print the “John Smith, do not ship” label. And then when I physically click print from other sites like eBay/ Mercari it’s still printing out the stock label.

Some things I learned today with the Rollo installation. I'm on a Mac. It would just not show up when I was trying to add the printer. I realized I needed up update my Mac. I did that and it still didn't show. My husband, the tech guy, was like lets try turning Rollo off and back on. That solved that problem. My next issue? After unplugging Rollo (and plugging it back in) it says offline and won't reconnect on its own. Our solution seems to be leaving Rollo off. Plug into the laptop. Turn Rollo on. It connects instantly. Anyone else have that second issue with Rollo being offline?

I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great kzread.infoUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.
