I then installed v8.4.2.9 with the Dymo unplugged and plugged it in only at the end as recommended. By the way, the Dymo uninstaller is a joke.

Using EasyFind, I removed all Files containing the string “Dymo” in them except for the cups Dymo 400 Labelwriter.PPD and a cups filter “rastertodymo.” I had to enable EasyFind to look for hidden files and folders and iTweax to make hidden files appear in the Finder. Also, the Dymo Label app could not find the printer and advised reinstallation. Main problem was that the installer would run satisfactorily, then in the OS X Printers and Scanners Preference Pane, I would try to Add (+) my Dymo 400 printer and the Name and Location of the printer were shown, but the driver could not be found. I managed to get v8.4.2.9 working on my MBP Core 2 Duo running Mountain Lion and connected via USB.

The LabelWriter 300, 330, and 330 Turbo printers mentioned in the list above are only supported when connected through a USB port on your Mac computer.
