How To: Download and Install Drivers for the TSC TDP-225 Label Printer

End user  ·  Yellow Dog Inventory 2026

 WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

Before you can print labels to a TSC TDP-225 printer, Windows needs the correct driver installed. Without it, the printer won't appear as a print option in Yellow Dog Inventory, and label jobs sent from the system will fail. This walkthrough covers downloading the driver from the manufacturer's site and completing the guided install.

 PREREQUISITES

•     The TSC TDP-225 printer, connected to the PC via USB

•     A Windows PC with administrator rights (required to install printer drivers)

•     Internet access to download the driver package from the TSC website

 STEP BY STEP

Download the driver

1.   Go to the TSC support site, enter TDP-225 in the 'Enter your model number'  field, and select theSubmit.

2.   With the Downloads tab selected, expand the Driver section.

3.   Select download next to the Windows Driver.

4.   Once the download finishes, open File Explorer and navigate to your Downloads folder.

a.    Tip: Click the Windows Start menu and type file explorer to jump straight to the app.

5.   Double-click the downloaded .zip file to open it.

Install the driver

1.   Inside the extracted folder, double-click the TSC executable to launch the installer.

2.   Select I accept the terms in the license agreement and choose Next.

3.   Confirm or update the install location, then select Next. The default location is the desktop.

4.   Confirm the additional options — Yellow Dog recommends leaving Run Driver Wizard checked. The install instructions are optional. Select Finish.

5.   Windows extracts the driver files. When the User Account Control prompt appears asking to allow the app to make changes, select Yes.

6.   In the Seagull Driver Wizard, confirm Install printer drivers is selected and choose Next.

7.   Plug in the printer if it isn't already connected. Select USB as the connection type and choose Next — the wizard also advances automatically once it detects the printer.

8.   Confirm TSC TDP-225 is selected under Install a driver for a Plug and Play printer and choose Next.

9.   Optional: update the printer's display name. Choose Next to continue with the default name or your changes.

10.       Review the summary of selected settings and choose Finish to begin the install.

11.       Wait for the progress bar to complete — installation takes about a minute.

12.       Select Close on the confirmation window once the wizard reports the printer installed successfully.
