 Brother QL-570 lends professionalism to your business March 22, 2008

I got this a few weeks ago and I've been enjoying beautiful label printing since. While Brother has many label printers, this model is all you really need. It was actually recommended by a Brother reptile ;) at Macworld.
Set-up was easy and I'm using it with both Mac Leopard and Windows Vista and I've experienced no problems printing whatsoever. The Windows software has more features than the Mac side and feels "slicker" too.
The QL-570 prints fast and silent. It's a little bigger than you would expect, but that's due to the easy-to-change label cartridges, which are a big plus.
Great little printer April 22, 2008

I use this printer on a Mac with OS X 10.5, and it works great. I think of new uses for the labels just about every day. Its super fast, and changing labels or tape is a snap. They come in a cartridge that just drops into the printer. The printer reads the label size so its available to the software.
One other nice thing about this printer is lots of type of labels and tape. There is circle labels, squares, big ones and small ones, and continuous tape in both paper and film.
One slight negative is that the software doesn't make it as easy to enter a POSTNET barcode as it should. You need to manually enter the zip code and manually position the bar code. Not terrible, but not as nice as the rest of the software.
Overall this is a great printer, durable, and you will love it.
GREAT BUY!!!!!!!!!! May 11, 2008

Recently upgraded from QL-500. This one was a better buy and has more features, many of which I'm still discovering. Excellent little printer with a wide variety of uses.

Great label printer. Fast, reliable, and quiet. A bit bulky but the size makes it easy to change the label.
Note about setting up printer for postage:
I bought this printer to print folder labels and postage. Folder labels was easy enough but postage proved difficult. I read on a forum that you could print USPS click and ship postage. Signed up on USPS and spent a few hours trying to fit the postage image onto the label. Finally, a search revealed that paypal has this functionality. I signed into paypal and under Profile -> shipping settings set the printer settings to ql-550 (ql-570 not listed but it's okay). It gives you a heads up that you need Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment to print labels to your label printer and points to you a link for the no longer unsupported J2SE JRE from 2005 that no longer works. You do need Java Run Time Environment but can use the newer one. You can get it by searching for JRE or get the older one by searching J2SE JRE.
Then I went into Label Printing Application found under Aution Tools tab -> PayPal MultiOrder Shipping and printed two labels. Wasted about 1 foot of labels trying to get them to print. Then finally realized there is another setting inside this MultiOrder Shipping App under Edit -> Settings. I set this to the ql-550 and hit the "Reprint" button (next to View Details...) under the History tab. I wasted another foot of continuous label trying to print the labels. Then realized that reprinting keeps the original printing formatting. Had to void out the labels and /really/ re-print them (luckily I didn't have to refill in the shipping details). Very annoying experience. end rant.
1. Download Java http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
2. Create or login your Paypal Account
3. Click auction tools -> free MultiOrder Shipping
4. If Getting Started pops up click Close
5. Click Edit -> Settings -> Print Settings -> Label Printer, and choose ql-550. (Also I unchecked packing slips and receipt. Packlist comes up after printing labels and you can choose your regular printer)
6. Click Ok
7. You are done. Click File -> Create New Order
Also, turn off pop-up blocker before trying to print and you might want to change your OS's "Printer Preferences" paper size to the correct value so you don't have to do this everytime you print. The default is wrong for the ql-570.
This is a big feature for the ql series so they should have some better documentation but it is equally paypals fault for poor documentation.
Fast printing, sotware needs improvement June 20, 2008

Very fast and quiet printing. VERY happy with the hardware. Software, however, has some serious shortcomings. It is awkward & difficult to use and sometimes you just can't do things you think you should be able to. Plan to spend a lot of time figuring out how to use the features it does have.
