I just looked and I actually have a LabelWriter 4XL by Dymo and I am currently using an iMac. I use it to print all my USPS & Fedex Smartpost labels, all at 4×6 size.

I noticed when I first bought it and I tried to print my first USPS label, there was a lot of extra white space around the label. The USPS label defaults at half page size, so when I fit to print at 4 x 6, it didn’t resize very well when I selected the fit to print option.

I use screen shots in my job a lot of various things, on a mac it is -(shift+option+4)… So what I did was purchase the label, selected print at full size where the label was blown up in my browser and then I would take a cropped screen capture of the label. I then click the screen grab and select fit to print, it prints much better for the 4×6 size.

This sounds like a tedious, multi-step process, but really only takes about 10 seconds per label.

I recently purchased a Dymo 450 XL and am very happy with it. You can print 4×6 labels with it. I was initially having problems b/c the labels from eBay (especially from Fedex) wouldn’t format well to the 4×6 size. My work-around method has been to blow up the size of the label on my screen, take a screen shot cropping the label and then printing the screen shot to the Dymo. Works for me and it prints super fast…
