Letratag LT-100H Personal Handheld Abc Label Maker

My new years resolutin was to be more organized. As such with the purchase of my new label maker I set out on a quest to ensure that everything was put in it's proper place, labled and organized. I am well on my way to my goal with the help of my new label-maker. You won't be disappoinnted.

This was a Christmas present about two years ago. It's been great. The only thing I wish was that the keys were arranged in qwert rather than alphabetical. It tends to give a 'low battery' warning early, but it has a pretty good battery life. My ONLY complaint is that versus the Brother version, which I've used at elsewhere, I find pealing the backing off the tape harder.

Just picked one of these up at the grocery store for about $19, and it won't actually print. Normally, I would assume user error, but the instructions are dead simple and its behavior is erratic, so I am pretty sure it is defective.

More detail: I put in the batteries, put in the tape, turned it on, typed in a quick test message and pressed "Print". At first, this would cause it to shut off the screen, make a little tape feeding noise and then turn off without printing anything. Then I popped the tape out and put it back in to make sure it wasn't misaligned somehow (it snaps in nicely, so I can't see how it would be). Now, when I press print, the screen turns off and it feeds about a foot of tape, still without actually printing anything (or displaying any sort of "Printing..." message, etc.).

I read a few of the reviews on another Amazon listing of the same product. It seems that plenty of people who got working models are happy with it, but for me (and for the others with similar problems), it's a bust. Buyer beware!
