Between clicking on/off at least once a day, and changing batteries once a year, I'm picking changing the batteries. I'd also guess most people would just leave it on. They may have already tried that.

I wish the Dymo label printer (for those labels printed on tape) had an off switch.

Every time I want to use it, the 6 batteries are flat.

Just remove one battery and it's off?

To be honest, I also have a Dymo label printer (very old model), and it does have a physical on/off switch, but even with the switch off it still consumes batteries like in 6 months.

I have one and didn't even know it could run on batteries. I've always used a power cord.
I gave up, bought the optional power adapter and just plug it in when I need to use it.
