how do I get the xml for a label?
Open the free DYMO Label
software and design a label. When you have designed one save it. The file it saves is an XML document like the one below. Simply pass that XML or (hint hint) a version of that XML that you did some string replacement on to the print function with a printer name and you are printing labels.
working example that prints a test label
This example will print TEST123 on a shipping size label (2 1/8" x 4") to a printer named 'DYMO LabelWriter 450'.
const Dymo = require('dymojs'),
dymo = new Dymo();
dymo.print('DYMO LabelWriter 450', labelXml);
var labelXml = `
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
