Title: Great Printer--Really Badly Designed Software
Product review: At one time, the QL-550 was my favorite label printer, mostly because I liked its print quality better than DYMO's. When I upgraded to Mac OS X Leopard, however, I ran into problems. Installing Brother's "Leopard-compatible" driver and label software worked fine, and the label printer worked great. Unfortunately, installing the Brother software "broke" around 20 of my previously installed programs, including Microsoft Office 2008, Logic Pro, and Adobe Creative Suite CS3. I don't know if reinstalling each of these programs after installing the Brother software will work, as I don't have the patience to hassle with it. I'm instead doing a complete reinstall of my main hard drive's contents (pre-Brother) from Time Machine.This is a great printer, but until Brother comes up with software installers that don't cause problems for other installed programs, I can't recommend this printer for Mac users.
