Meihengtong Label Printer, 150mm/s High Speed Thermal Printer - Compatible with UPS, FedEx, Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, Shopify - Barcode Printer, 4x6 Printer
MFLABEL Printer - Commercial Grade Direct Thermal High Speed Printer - Compatible with Etsy, Ebay, Amazon - Barcode Printer - 4x6 Printer??
Make sure you don't plug the printer in until you run the driver and it asks to be plugged in , otherwise windows will try to install it and then the driver wont find it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! 💕💕😻 It works perfectly.
So I got all the way to the part where we need to print the sample but the only thing is I don't have a picture to print like the label how do I do that part?
I have a sample label you can print in the description.
@@thecollegepicker where do I get that an how
@@PrEpy-r6s there is a link in the description of the video.
For anyone having trouble with the Seagull Driver Wizard detecting the printer, I used the "Other (Parallel/Serial)" option and so far it's working just fine for me!
Thank you soo much over here helping a friend with hers and this just help me from pushing her out the chair 🤣🤣🤣
So I did what you suggested but now it keeps opening a file instead of actually printing
Did it ever work for you ?
Ashley Davis did it ever work for you ?
any suggestions on what to do?- because my computer prompts me to save a file before printing :(
I've been putting off getting a thermal printer because they are so expensive. Then I saw your reviews and I took your advice this evening and just bought this one on Amazon.
It is my giant hope that you will have a tutorial showing how to make it compatible with my iMac by the time my order comes, and my label roll comes from FED EX, and I get this desk cleared off!
THANK YOU for sharing so much knowledge--you have made my life easier!
Appreciate you watching the content and making a decision on the videos. That really means a lot to me. Working on the Mac video now. ✌️you are very welcome, thank you for watching 😊🙏
@@thecollegepicker sweet--thku
I just received this printer from AliExpress. Cost was $59.88, took about 3-4 weeks to arrive but comes with everything. Amazon was charging $120. for identical printer.
This RUclips was perfect to set up my Mac.
Life hack 🙌 glad to be able to help. Amazon says no Mac either. Breaking the rules mate 🤘
I couldn't connect the printer for some reason even following these steps. Went to try it on my mac and watched the mac video and saw that the download for mac included the files for windows. Downloaded that one onto PC and voila! it works!
Thank you for all your videos on this thermal printer. Got mine all set up calibrated and printing!! I got it for 18.50 with shipping but it did not have a power adapter so I got one for an epson (as suggested on one of your video) it works great!!!! Cost me about 25.00 total open box
Wowwwwwwwww that is incredible 🥰🥰🥰 steal of a deal!!!
Thank you, so easy after watching your step by step tutorial!. I too was having the issue with the sample label being saved to file. You have to go into your PRINTING PROPERTIES than into PORTS, The port "FILE: Print to file" was checked, i changed it so that a USB Port was checked instead and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps! Thanks
Awesome! Glad to hear and happy to help.
This comment helped me a lot. Thank you!!!
This comment saved me from throwing my printer against the wall!
I literally didnt know what i was doing. let my brother do it and my computer almost crashed. so i deleted everything that was done and started from scratch. i came across this video and it helped me out so much. i can now run my small business the right way. Thank you so much for this video.
You are welcome. So happy to help 😊
Thank you so much!! I would never buy this printer without your tutorial as it is so hard to setup. Much appreciated!!!
If your windows driver is not connecting to your printer use the link here www.seagullscientific.com/downloads/printer-drivers/mflabel-dt108b/. You may have the MFLABEL version. I notice there was a windows driver link for the MFLABEL DT108B and Xprinter XP-DT108B. I hope this helps some of you. Thanks Eric for the tutorial.
Thank you very much!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It helped!!!
You're a star! Thank you so much, worked the first time :)
Thank you! I just got mine all set up & watched you step by step! You are very good at describing things! Never missing anything. :D
You are very welcome. Glad to be of help 👍 thanks for watching.
Hello. How is it after a year?
I’m about to buy this and I had to see if you reviewed it yet ! Thank God for your channel. You’ve helped a small businesses owner like me so much !
Thank you! I had to revisit this video from last year because I loaded new labels today.
I need help. I have a HP laptop and instead of printing after i press the print button, it opens document as if i want to save what im trying to print instead of actually printing it :(
Ashley Davis hey did you ever get the chance to figure it out cause I’m having the same problem??? Please and Thankyou

Thanks for your most excellent video - it's definitely the calibration that is the critical issue - if the printer develops any issues after a successful install just recalibrate and away you go! :)
You are very welcome ☺️
Your video helped a ton but mine was a special situation I guess. It would not find my printer and I ended up making a virtual printer through the driver set up and now it works fine. Hope that helps other.
Thank you!! I’ve been having so much trouble with my printer only printing one label and messing up. This fixed it!!!
You are welcome 😌
Amazing!! Thank your for put time on help others 👏🏽👏🏽
I did if your help, I bought one used and it didn’t cane with manual, I was getting crazy until find your videos 👏🏽👏🏽😊😃
You are very welcome. The manual isn't much help either 🤣🤣
I didn't have the same model but followed your steps and was able to get it downloaded (minus one little issue which was a settings issue) Thank you
That's awesome! What model did you have?
Thank-you so much for this video! I bought one of these printers off Amazon and the driver software they included wouldn't even open.
I'm running Windows 11, and had to do a couple of things differently than shown in the video.
If the driver wizard never "sees" your printer on the searching screen, make sure your printer is plugged in, turned on, and connected to your computer through USB. Then, on the Connect Printer screen select Other, and click next. The screen should say Specify Printer Model, and have a long list of options. Look for the printer model: "Xprinter XP-DT 108B LABEL." Click next, and it will say to select port. For me this was already filled in with USB001 under Port and the weird name of the printer under Type (for me it was 4BARCODE4B-2054F).
If you want to verify the name of your printer: Hit the Windows key, and search for Control Panel. Click on the Control Panel app. Click on Hardware and Sound. Then on Devices and Printers. There should be an Unspecified tab with a box with a blue circle named "USB Printing Support." Double click on that. A new window will pop up with two tabs. Click on the Hardware tab, and the device with the box and blue circle (listed as Software Devices under Type) should be the printer.
If anyone needs the extra help, I hope that this comment made sense. Good luck, and good day!
you truly saved the day here!!!
What should I do if my computer is not finding my printer?
Did you ever fix it? I'm also having this problem :(
Jazmine Wilkerson my laptop can’t find it either? Did you resolve the problem I need help🥺
Try powering off and on the printer or restarting the Computer.
thecollegepicker thank you I will try it out
@@selenelux4511 I tried it but that didn't work for me. Returned that printer got a different one and its not working either.
** to all the computers that didn’t detect your usb plug in **
If your computer doesn’t find the USB option, please click other options and go from there. When you find your printer name ( usually the one that has multiple other letters in addition to DT108 LABEL) click on it and press next.
Later on it’ll give you an option of what port. Click USB port 1001. Click next or ok. it’ll tell you that it may have already been taken.
That’s where I had the decision if I wanted to uninstall the unavailable/taken port... I did. Finalize and click close.
Then follow the rest of the video for label setting instructions. Hope this helps in any way!! I almost gave this away because I thought I absolutely couldn’t use it for my press on nail business. It’s stressful I’ve spent days- hours and a gave up a month ago. I just figured it out this morning!!
Just a heads up for whoever may read this. I bought the SoonMark version of this (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MKTKXGJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thank you so much for this. I also watched your video about thermal labels printing sideways for Mercari. I can't thank you enough. It only took me wasting 15 or 20 labels to realize maybe I should watch a tutorial 🤔 😅
You are welcome. Happy to help 😊
I may need the link for this as well. 👍
thanks for the video my guy I found one for 60$ free shipping on aliexpress from what I think is the manufacturer and not an amazon reseller, got it working smoothly now
Wow what a deal!!!
The sizing calibration came in very handy. Thank You
You are welcome 😊. That's what messed me up in the beginning when I got mine.
Thank you! It Solved my issue! Great Video! Subscribed!
Yours instruction is clear, I just got my printer and the power light doesn't come one. I tried to adjust the papers before power on still doesn't work
OMGThank you! I was getting so frustrated with this printer. Did not even know about calibration!
You Are welcome. I was there I felt that frustration too.
Beautiful Tutorial... fromm start to finish.... 100% on point.
Appreciate it 🙏🙏
Thanks for the detailed setup guide.
Glad it was helpful!
My printer saves file instead of printing the label! Help!
Excellent instructional video. Thank you sir.
Thanks for watching 🙏
I'm so glad I found your page!!! I was about to buy a whole 'nother printer. My laptop doesn't have a CD rom slot so but anywho thanks for this video!! Very detailed
Glad you got it going ☺️👍
Hi ERIC. I just referenced your video again for help. So grateful. Thank you
You are welcome 🙂
Life saver I was at the same point in the beginning of the tutorial.......canceling the email to Amazon now 😬😂

Yay! A new technology video! Great!
Love your videos!
Thank Dylan 🙏✌️
Thank you soooo much! Your awesome i literally just started my online business and bought this because you recommeded it on another video and this helped I use my cd port for an additional hard drive! :} my brother built my computer for me and i didnt want the cd port i dont use them lol.

Yesss helped so much Thank you!!!!
You are welcome
Can you review the Itari Shipping Label Printer
Thanks great help
You are welcome, happy to help.
Thank you..
I set it all up like you explained. I have windows 8 on my laptop. But how do I get that PDF sample lable thing you used? Please help if you can.
These are cheap printers but I like how they look and how fast they print ima like this video so I can come back to it when mine arrives haha
Appreciate it! Lemme know how it goes 🥰👍
@@thecollegepicker I'm having the same issue. I'm not getting a pop up to connect the USB
Nice vid! More power!
💪💪💪
Hello! Thank you so much! But l was wondering is there a video of how to install this with a chromebook? Thank you!
THANK YOU this printer is dope.
You are welcome Quentin 🙏 did you get yours set up?
@@thecollegepicker yes your tutorial was easy and simple to follow.
Good day i tires every thing base on your video sir but still wont work my printer the same model us you presented may printer sayinh EROR PRINTER thank you and GOD Bless
you are the best but for some reason I cant get mine to print the full paper/sticker.
Thank you for the easy and quick video! We were able to set ours up within 5 minutes and now we're printing any labels we need. The printer isn't printing particular colors, (like the B and Y from "ebay"), if you know a solution, please let me know!
Hi Luis, what do you mean colors? It only prints in black and white.
@@thecollegepicker Hey! Yes, it only prints black and white. What I mean is, when printing an image that contains certain colors, it doesn't print the parts of the image with those colors at all (in black and white)
Hmm, I've never tried printing a color image. It's only for black and white Text or images. Any thermal printer is black and white only.
Help! I got to the part where i can print out the sample but then a window popped up save print output as. i dont know why its asking that i followed all your instructions. also i was having trouble with the seagull detecting the usb so i was able to use other and it worked
was wondering if you knew or could do a video for Mac that does not have a dice insert
I have this printer and followed your instructions, thanks very much. It will print once or twice just like it should and then it loses it's calibration and the red light blinks after printing. What do I need to do to fix this?
Thank you!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You are welcome
The wizard isn't detecting the printer... any ideas?
thanks mate
Anytime 😅
New subscriber here 🙋🏻♀️😊 Thanks for your easy to follow videos! Sold on eBay years ago & just used a regular printer. Since my printer is kind of old, and I’m going to get back into eBay, I’ve been shopping for a label printer. I’m not tech savvy, so I REALLY APPRECIATE your videos! I think I may buy this printer. I just upgraded my phone to the Samsung s20 ultra (still learning that! lol) Do you know if this printer would be compatible with my phone? Thanks sooooo much in advance for your help!
I appreciate it! 🙏 Yes I actually have a video showing this printer with my Google pixel (also Android 😅)
Hello thecollegepicker. I hope you read this comment. Your video was very useful for me when I originally installed my printer to my PC. I got a new PC, and went to install the printer on it. I made the mistake of plugging it in and firing it up right away before going to the install wizard. Now I can't proceed with USB connection when going through the wizard. Do you know how I can fix this?
My printer is doing everything seemingly correct.. EXCEPT it is not actually printing anything! There is no "ink" on the page what so ever. I have turned up the darkness to max etc. Can anyone help?
I know this was a year ago. I recently bought this printer but for some reason it wouldn't calibrate. I followed your instructions but when the red light come on, that's it. It doesn't feed the papers.
I have this printer & have always used your videos to install it in every laptop I've had but this time I have a Chromebook & have searched everywhere for a driver for me to download using Chromebook but I have had no such luck. Any help would be appreciated!
This was great yet just when I go to print it wants me to save the file and does actually print, not sure what I did wrong
Just tried setting this up and it’s not printing the page. It’s adding it to the queue but nothings happening
Thanks for the info. Buying one on eBay since I know I can overcome issues reviewers have left. I also have a question. I want to use eco friendly labels and the company says the printer must be on "reflective" or "black mark" not "transmissive" for it to calibrate right. Does the driver you use here have those settings? Thanks in advance for your help/answer.
What’s up Eric! AJ here! Portland Or. just found you from a Ralliroots ShoutOut!! This is a great video about Label printer Setup! Can you give me more info on model and where I should get one of these? Thank you. I’ll definitely check out your channel and tell others about you!! (AJPG)
Whats up dude, thanks for coming over to the party hahaha. Appreciate you checking out the videos, here is a vid from a few days ago that goes over this printer in more detail. ruclips.net/video/P9yFGUBFMvE/видео.html
Cheers!

I bought this printer a few months ago. Watched your video. It was working great but now it won’t print my labels. The red light will not turn off. I got new labels. Tried calibrating. Turned it on and off. Unplugged it and nothing seems to work. Can you help please? I have over 50 shipping labels in need to print out ASAP!!
I have an issue with printing small labels also the brothers, size 3cm x 6cm. I did the calibration and he is printing the first one fine but it doesn't recognize the gaps between each label so the second label is not on the correct spot ...
Hi TCP, during the install the program didn't recognize when I plugged in the usb. So I use the CD to download the drives. Now when I click on print for sample label test it is not printing. What must I do to connect it? Thanks for you help.
Every time I try to do new stock 4.00 in x 6.00, in automatically changes the 4.00 to 2.36in any suggestions?
Its installed and prefrrences set but its not printing. I hit print, and nothing. Yes i have the right printer selected. Its making me save the label everytime i hit print. Then nothing happens
I only have a android tablet will this work with that only.?
Please make video: how to install the MFLABEL "DT426B thermal printer
do you know if it can be used on chromebook acer
Hello, thanks for this great video. Going forward do you have an idea how long the ink will last for and how to get the ink? Its not on ebay and I am scared it will run out at a crucial time. trying to plan ahead. cheers
There is no ink on these printers ☺️. They use heat.
@@thecollegepicker oh wow. Even better. Learning every day lol. Cheers
Hi, question for you... someone gave me some 4x8 labels. Since there is no option for that size, do you think the printer would calibrate correctly? Thanks for all your very informative videos! I appreciate them so much!! 😊
Yeah it should work fine. You will have to make a custom size setting on the computer and should be good to go.
Thanks so much! I’m gonna try my printer out today for the first time. You are so helpful 😊
You are welcome 😊
Do you have a link to the epson power cord that works with this printer
Do you have info on how to connect this printer to Inventory Lab? Would you suggest following their Rollo printer directions? Thank you!
I am not sure if this is supported with inventory lab. Sorry 😓🙏
Please do I need to download or do anything on driver wizard
Can you make a tutorial on how to print international labels via PayPal? Amazing printer, LOVE it for the price :)
Your best bet for international is pirate ship, you will get a better rate than PayPal with their simple export rate.
where can i get the app to make the labels?
Hi great video but i'm having trouble still, before i found this video i had already plugged it in and now windows is not finding it and i've tried installing it using other (Parallel/Serial ) and it did install but when i try to test printing using it , it is sending me to my file explore like i need to select a file and idk how to fix it.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I followed all the steps but when I hit print I'm not getting anything
Are the labels in upside down?
How long does my laptop take to search the printer??
I have the same thermal printer, I did everything in the video, but for some odd reason when the printer trys to print anything its just blank. Does any one know how I can fix this.
Do you have the labels installed upside down?
@@thecollegepicker I just recently found out that the problem was the shipping labels. I had different Labels then the one's you were using. The printer did print just like it is supposed to but, The text was so light that I thought it didn't print at all. I saw a diffrent video of yours were you recommend this printer and saw what labels I was supposed to get.
Thank You so much for taking the time of your day to reply to me.
Ayyyy it sounds like a label issue. Glad you got it working 👍. What labels were you using? Good troubleshooting!
@@thecollegepicker The labels I bought are 4 x 6 but they are not together. They are separated. Hopefully the other labels do the trick.
TY Sir!
You are welcome 😊
I just got this printer and it’s all set up but it doesn’t print in black ink? It’s clear lol. Why?
Flip the labels upside down
