[@SchmaltzyCraftsy]

Don't have a Rollo yet, but I'd bet on a USB hub

[@laurenbeckerle7977]

Some things I learned today with the Rollo installation. I'm on a Mac. It would just not show up when I was trying to add the printer. I realized I needed up update my Mac. I did that and it still didn't show. My husband, the tech guy, was like lets try turning Rollo off and back on. That solved that problem. My next issue? After unplugging Rollo (and plugging it back in) it says offline and won't reconnect on its own. Our solution seems to be leaving Rollo off. Plug into the laptop. Turn Rollo on. It connects instantly. Anyone else have that second issue with Rollo being offline?

It's not a wireless printer. Rollo says they are coming out with a dongle to help make it wireless but nothing as of now has been released.

[@LuvinNappy]

@@thecollegepicker I know it’s not a wireless printer and they’ve been “coming out “ with something since September. I’ve heard of people making the current rollo printer wireless. I was just curious if you had any intel on the HOW. It’s the only printer I can get my hands on at an affordable price but the biggest con is that it’s not wireless

[@thecollegepicker]

They've been talking about it for over a year. Some people program a raspberry pi into a print server, or share the printer using a laptop but those aren't truly wireless workarounds, and they are not very simple to do. 😔

[@stacey5548]

I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem - I have a MacBook Pro (always auto updates to the latest Operating System release) and I use Chrome Browser (also always updated to most recent release). I only sell a few things here and there on eBay, but it seems like every time I turn on the Rollo, attach my USB cord from laptop to the Rollo, set up the label, then try to print that shipping label via the Rollo, the Rollo thermal printer no longer exists as an option in my "Printers and Scanners" section. When I hit "print", the only option that shows is my old trusty HP office printer. Why does the Rollo Thermal Printer keep disappearing after I have previously and successfully downloaded the drivers and it worked when printing the label right after downloading said drivers? How do I get it to stay as an option in my "Printers and Scanners" section of my MacBook? I have had to navigate to this KZbin tutorial out of frustration 5 times now over the past few months. Every time I've hit the "+" sign to add it (the Rollo printer), signed in with my admin password on my Mac to allow that to happen, and it then successful shows as an added printer. Then where does it go? Why does it drop off my "Printers and Scanners" list, and why do I constantly have to re-add it and re-download the drivers? Any help or advice appreciated. I must be doing something wrong.

I’ve been wanting to get a label printer for my small business for the longest time and finally pulled the trigger. I’m glad I did ! This machine is great kzbin.infoUgkxw55tQTywUAAOsbrlwxONZULry77sFF1Q and the blue/green color matches the rest of the accents in my office. My favorite part is how small the footprint is. It’s less than 1/4 the size of my regular printer.Set up was fairly easy. Seller will email you a link with video instructions Which I found to be more helpful than the written instructions. I use a Mac and had no issues. They even included an adaptor for USB to USB-c which is great because I’m always losing mine! I had a few issues getting the labels to print properly and wasted quite a few sheets. You need to play around with the settings to get everything adjusted just right. If you have the wrong settings, it’ll crop off the edges or feed through blank labels. These aren’t issues with the machine though, just user error.
