You cannot use a DYMO printer in all Terminal Services or cloud computing environments. A DYMO printer cannot print a job sent from an outside network. For example, a DYMO printer will not print jobs sent from the World Wide Web. However, if set up correctly, a DYMO printer can prints jobs that are sent from a VPN or a local network. DYMO does not directly support Windows Terminal Services. More information can be found on DYMO s Web site at k=terminal server.
