Installing Software for Rhino6000 and 3m PL300 Label Printers
...
If, however, you are using a 3m PL300 printer, you will not have much luck finding software downloads for the printer. Additionally, if you simply connect the printer, Windows will see the device but not be able to find an appropriate driver.
