Great office tool  
I purchased two of these - one for my home office and one for my husbands business. So easy to use and so much better than handwriting or feeding sheets thru a regular printer. You can keep address book on file and access when you need to print one or 50. Price was well worth it! : 2010-09-16 00:43:30

Administrative Assistant  
I keep up with our companys computer equipment inventory and have thousands of records in our data base that I have to print and affix asset labels as they are updated. I needed an easier way to print a bar code and serial number on a permanent label by using the information already entered into our AS/400 database instead of risking errors by manually re-entering the information into a hand-held manual label maker.

We researched several label makers and chose the Brother QL-500 for its price specifications and recommendations.

When we received our Brother QL-500 I noticed it was as lightweight as our hand-held manual label maker. Loading and unloading labels are a breeze. Just pop up the lid pull up the bar to release labels remove old labels drop in new labels feed labels push the tension bar back down to lock labels in push the lid back down to close plug into a USB port & turn it on. After one of our programmers set up the fields to print from our data : 2010-09-16 00:43:30

Pretty nice but a couple of kinks  
A very nice product in many ways. I hate writing addresses and stuff because I dont write clearly. So this is great for popping those out. They look great its very fast.

Two problems that are somewhat annoying.

1) The (Mac) version of the software uses an insane amount of CPU. If I forget and leave the app running my CPU fan starts blowing and I wonder what is then open the resource monitor to see its the P-touch app doing nothing but chewing on the CPU.

2) If I print more than one label at once it very frequently jams by pulling the previous label back in too far and they become crumpled up. Luckily this is easy to work around if I just print one at a time (even without cutting them off) it doesnt seem to happen. : 2010-09-16 00:43:30

Works well on a Mac with Snow Leopard  
I got this on Amazon refurbished and apparently its offered refurbished frequently from the number of reviewers. Very inexpensive too -- about the cost of 750 brand-name mailing labels at an office supply store. And the refurbished one comes with two spools of labels -- one about two inches wide and the other slightly over an inch wide.

My biggest concern before buying it was the difficulty some reviewers said they had installing and using this label printer on their Mac. But at least as of today the driver and the P-Touch Editor version is fine for Snow Leopard (Mac OSX 10.6.4). I installed it in a few minutes. and my QL-500 was up and running. Heres how: ignore the CD that comes with the printer. Go to Brothers web site and download and install the version of P-Touch Editor for Snow Leopard. Restart your Mac. From the same web site download and install the QL-500s driver for Snow Leopard. Restart your Mac. Connect the QL-500 to your Mac and turn the QL-500 on. : 2010-09-16 00:43:30

Great Printer  
I have used one of these at work for 3 years and have been very pleased with it. I decided to order a second for use at home. It is easy to set up the soft ware is very good and it works well with lists created in excel. It has never jammed or created any problems for me I highly recommend it. : 2010-09-16 00:43:30
