I recently bought a Dymo 450 Turbo thermal printer to print 2.4 x 7.5 Ebay shipping labels. Unfortunately, the labels only print 1/2 size (see attached photo). I've read this board for a solution, but I'm not having any luck. I also spent a lot of time searching online.
I am attaching images of all of the printer settings that were suggested on this board, youtube, etc.
I am hoping someone here has had the same problem, and found a solution. I'm at my wits end

Thanks to rfmtm, berserkplanet, et al, for their suggestions which solved my problem. My labels were printing 1/2 size (see my original post).
Following is what solved the issue for me. I'm including some screenshots to show the preferred settings. I'm using the Chrome browser. The main problem was the browser was opening the label PDF instead of the Adobe Reader.
* Instead of printing directly (via pdf handlers in your browser), disable that function in your browser and download labels as pdf files for Adobe Reader to handle.
Set browser to download pdfs instead of opening them: To access in Chrome browser: Enter chrome://settings/content in address bar. Scroll down to PDF documents > Turn on: Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome.
For 2.5" x 7.5" labels you need to check the following.
Proper setting in eBay/PayPal printer setup for the Dymo format.
Proper setting in your Dymo Printer Preferences for the correct label type.
In your browser's Page Setup for Scale set to 100%.
See screenshots for proper settings.
In the label preview, make sure size is set to Actual and Orientation set to Auto.
