Since yesterday I got it running.

System: Win11 21H2

 

First I installed the Dymo Software Dymo Label v.8.7.4.48936 for the LW 450 Duo.

After that I was able to print labels but unable to print tapes. So I decided to install the DCD Software 1.3.2.18 as described to be compatible with win11 in the compatibility chart.

Inadvertently I started the Dymo Label v.8 Software again and thats it. Both drivers were available and working. Now I can print labels and tapes at the same USB Port with only one printer. Just like it was a year ago with win10.

It's a bit like magic and unexplainable, but works fine even if I don't know how. :happyface:

 

Hope you can solve your issues too...

Tonmichel, Can you add some screenshots, please? Looking for the device manager list for printers and printer queues. Also, would like to see screenshots of the two DYMO programs running and seeing both drivers. And one more of the print management MMC showing the drivers, ports, and printers.

 

thank you for the help. 

 

PS: DYMO and Microsoft are both ridiculous for not fixing this problem.
