#Smart label printer 450 for windows 10 driver

I had to get the correct driver from Dell. Note that I had downloaded and installed the latest chipset driver from Intel's Web site and even though the was an 'Intel Active Management Technology' driver, it didn't fix my problem.

Once I overwrote the newer chipset driver on my Dell Optiplex with the older one I got off of Dell's Web site my PCI Serial Port entry with the yellow exclamation point icon turned into Intel Active Management Technology - SOL (COM3) and my SLP-200 printer worked great.

That's another important point if you go to install the driver from your PC or motherboard manufacturer and you get a warning saying something along the lines of ' A newer verion of this driver already exists' you want to go ahead an overwrite the newer driver with the older one. However, the only way I could get rid of my PCI Serial Port issue in Device Manager was to install an older driver I obtained on Dell's Web site.

In my case Windows 10 installed a chipset driver. What's most important is that you get the driver from your PC or motherboard manufacturer's Web site, not from Intel or other chipset maker or other Web site that provides driver downloads. DON'T click on any of the links that go to third-party driver sites like or. In the search results you should find information that indicates if it's the motherboard chipset or some other hardware. Then paste this string into a Google search field which should looks something like this: Highlight (by dragging your mouse over) the long string of text that starts with VEN (but don't include the 'requires further installation' text), right-click on it and select Copy from the pop-up menu. Right before that string in the Information field is what you're looking for. Click on one of these events and in the Information field you'll see the failure indicated by the 'requires further installation' string. Right-click on the entry with the exclamation point and select Properties and then click on the Events tab and you'll see 'events' where the system unsuccessfully attempted to load a driver. 99% of the time it's an issue with a missing or, in my case, improper driver. If you do have a device issue (an entry with a yellow exclamation point icon), particularly under the 'Ports' or 'Universal Serial Bus controllers' headings, you need to get it taken care of. If you have a clean Device Manager go down to the Second Things Second section below. The first time I looked at mine there was a PCI Serial Port entry with a yellow exclamation point icon underneath the Ports heading. Here's screen shot of a clean Device Manager window: Click on Device Manager on the left pane and your device headings will appear in the right pane. To pull up Device Manager your right-click on the This PC in File Explorer and select Manage from the pop-up menu. You do this by checking Device Manager to make sure there are no errors. The first thing you want to check is to make sure your PCI bus (which includes your USB ports) driver is up to snuff. This in fact was the reason my SLP printer wouldn't print a complete label. The default Windows 10 Intel chipset driver caused, what I thought was, a minor problem with my PCI bus. I thought I'd share this information because I couldn't find it anywhere in any of my internet searches.Īs I stated, one problem had nothing to do with Seiko hardware or software.

I spent countless hours playing around with the Smart Label software application but one of my problems ended up not having anything to do with the printer or the software but was an issue with my PC. At times this behavior was intermittent where I might get one label to print OK and at other times no labels would print at all. In my case, the label would start to print but then stop and I'd have to manually flush the queue.
