A follow-up. Did you come to any conclusion on where/what is the problem?

I have had several Dymo PnP Label Printers. They work fine, until they don't. The issue is a poorly designed charging circuit, such that if you leave the printer plugged in full-time to USB (and who doesn't?) you will degrade some component to the point of failure.
I always look for some sale price for this printer. I would also mention that the batteries have a short life, but Dymo never seems to have the battery in stock, or else it costs more than a sale priced printer. No kidding.
My Labelwriter 450 is AC powered, not USB or battery. After 5 years, continuously plugged into USB port and a couple rolls of label paper, still working perfectly.
In contrast, my PnP printer is battery powered, with the battery being charged by USB. USB alone cannot supply enough power to run the printer, so if the battery is run down or gone bad, printer won't work. I would much rather have had an AC powered printer, but for this purpose I couldn't spend too much money.
