Original exact-SKU audit · United States
300-dpi network label printers, without the family-name shortcuts.
Twenty-three exact configurations checked against ten purchase requirements. Every price, link and support claim is dated. A question mark is a result—not an invitation to guess.
Bottom line
The cheapest verified complete setup is $161.98.
Below $250, printer-body price: PM-344-WF, RW401AP-BL-US, 3044C-WF.
Below $350: PM-344-WF, RW401AP-BL-US, 3044C-WF, CL-E303XUWNNA, XD5-43DEK.
Only Phomemo remains below $250 after adding the external holder used for orderly roll feeding. Taxes and shipping are excluded.

Evidence boundary
This is a public-page audit, not a bench test.
Official macOS support means a current manufacturer page or document explicitly named macOS. It does not promise that every OS release, browser workflow, or Shopify app will work.
Media support means the documented feed path can accept that media form. It does not prove every third-party label stock will calibrate cleanly.
This list is not a claim of total market coverage. Submit corrections through the source-and-corrections page before relying on a borderline result.
