For whatever it's worth, based on Dan's advice a couple years ago, our 
libraries also use the Dymo 450 for spine label printing.  We ran 
Evergreen 2.0 from 2.0.1 through 2.0.10-ish before we upgraded to 2.2 
and beyond.  As Dan notes, those printer setting options do exist in 2.0.

So, safe to say that model works with Evergreen 2.0.
