Hi Mervyn..
It is a dymo s100. They have a link to get the driver but it doesn't work. Seems the abandoned this scale for some reason. I had called them and it seems endicia handles this. But possibly the original driver only goes up to windows 7 as it says nothing about Windows 10 on the box. Sort of weird that they would abandon the scale since there are so many for sale right now. Not catastrophic if I can't do this as I can read the weight and fill in the field manually. Would be nice if there were a way to get around all this!!
Thanks.. Charlie
