5.0 out of 5 stars For mobile usage: Turn OFF 'Editor Lite' on the printer
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2021
Printer works as expected. If you use the printer with mobile device just make sure, that the 'Editor Lite'-feature is turned OFF otherwise your mobile device will not recognize the printer. I had to read through the folded manual and actually just tried it and then it connected to my phones. It works with a USB-Hub as well as with a USB2GO-cable (Micro-USB & USB-C).
Have older phones, which I barely use and they got now a new purpose.
Printing app doesn't allow to turn text 180 degrees, so that you could print a label like for a wire to be readable in both ways. I know that the desktop version can do that. I would have to contact BROTHER if they are planning on implementing that feature in the mobile app.
Tested also the red-printing, which seems like it is increasing temperature, and takes as long as a high-quality print. It is nice to have, but I wouldn't recommend it, unless you really need it, since it prints the entire label slower = if you have to print many, larger labels you would have to calculate about 40% longer time. Still printing fast, but not as fast as just in b&w.
The app has lots of nice templates (now also for COVID-19) and works very intuitive.
I mainly bought this printer to label wires for computer network and it seems like the the DK-2214 labels would do a good job for that. You might use a SCOTCH-tape to protect it and keeping it on the wire, but it is a good size label for labeling wires.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Printer for the Price - QL-800
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2020
From reading some of the reviews, I was under the impression that it could print the regular USPS 4"x6" labels, however, it does not. Rather it prints labels with the maximum width of 2.4"x(desired length). Make sure if you are purchasing this printer that your source from which you purchase your shipping labels (Paypal, eBay, Shopify, etc.) allows you to change the size in which you print your labels. The printer requires the shipping label setting to be set to 2.3"x7.5" for USPS shipping labels. I have not tried using it to print FedEx or UPS labels, but I imagine it is similar to USPS labels. It is possible to print the larger style label, but what this printer will do is print the different parts of the label on separate strips, then you have to cut and piece it together like a puzzle, which in my opinion would be a nightmare being that if you mess up in aligning the label which is a sticker, then you would have to print and start all over. So the 2.3"x7.5" label is the way to go. Keep in mind, if the package you are shipping is not long enough to accommodate the 7.5" long label then you will need to either cut the label and make it fit or just purchase a different label maker entirely. Overall, this printer is well made and does the job.

I'm so glad I found this label printer. I didn't even know Brother had a label printer. DYMO printers are always pushed when you search for a label printer. I initially purchased a DYMO 550, when I say that is the worst label printer ever!!! 2 printers later, multiple support calls, and it still wouldn't work. But this QL800!!!! Installation was easy, software great, worked perfectly! I love Brother products and I wish I would have found this first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect address label print
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2023
I bought 2 of these for my tax business. Extremely professional and very inexpensive. The best thing is that they are thermal so there is NO ink to run out. They are many times better than the old LaserJet labels - these actually work. By the labels online here at Amazon. you get thousands of labels (literally, I think 6,000) for about $30.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terribly hard to use. Almost impossible to set up proper size
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024
This is terribly hard to use. Almost impossible to set up proper size.

Brother forces you to download and install a third-party app if you use a MacBook.

Then through this app (just to print a simple label), everything gets complicated, it takes forever to load, and it doesn't print at the right size so you waste paper and time for every single try.

This is such a hassle and a scam, honestly. I don't recommend this to anyone. It takes as fast to print it on a normal printer and put a piece of tape on the package yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars QL-800 Does NOT work with Etsy Shipping Labels
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019
As of this writing (Dec 15, 2019), QL-800 is absolutely great for other types of labels, but does NOT work with Etsy shipping labels (official Brother help videos state it does print labels from Ebay). Once you create your Etsy postage shipping label, Etsy automatically formats it into a PDF for you to download and print. Even if you are good with image editing software, if you manage to get it to print on a QL-800 continuous label paper (as I did), the label is too small to read--particularly the US Postage barcode in the upper right-hand corner. Sadly, I must return this, and buy a larger label printer.

As a label printer, the quality is sharp, and the printing is speedy. It was easy to set up the drivers and software. I have no complaints with the device itself.

Other Notes: Windows 10 has TWO different areas where you need to change the preferences in order to print different-sized labels. Be sure to change your "Printer Default" to the correct paper size as well as within the "Printer Preferences." Took me an hour of wondering why it still would appear "offline" after changing the defaults... until I finally clicked on "preferences," and noticed that hadn't automatically changed when I adjusted the "default" settings. Whatever...

ALSO: purchasing this QL-800 does NOT come with the black-only continuous label (DK-2205) that you need for printing shipping labels. You must purchase that separately. It does come with a sample-length of Standard Address labels (DK-1201), and a sample-length of black/red wide tape (DK-2251).

My first one lasted 6 years. I probably made 50,000 labels in that time. It finally gave up and wouldn’t turn on so I bought another one. Definitely a good purchase.
