Chrome Update breaks Check In Printing (& How to Fix It)
Update: Thanks to an upgraded version of the DYMO software, this is no longer an issue. Check in now works fine in Chrome in addition to the other major browsers.
This week Google updated the Chrome browser to version 42.  Unfortunately this upgrade has a setting turned off by default that the DYMO Printers need in order to print.  Fortunately, it's an easy fix. If you're using Google Chrome to check people in and print out labels, you must perform this update in order for labels to continue printing.
1. Type in chrome://flags/#enable-npapi in your Chrome browser's web address bar
2. Click "Enable" for this setting
3. Quit and re-open Chrome (update will not be applied until Chrome is restarted)
- OR -
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer
Updating to Version 42
Chrome will automatically update; if yours hasn't yet, you can force it to do so by navigating to chrome://chrome/ in your browser.
