It's been a while since I used stick-on labels. But we use to by
letter sized papers, covered on one side with stick-on labels all
of the same size. We mostly put mailing address on each label. We
used an hp printer and the particular sheets we used where coded,
with I believe was a 4 digit number, as I think "avery" and others make
litterally thousands of choices for these sheets (at least they use to).
The open source software could recognize the sheet template number and the
software did the rest.
Sorry I could not be more specific, but it was an all open source solution.
The trick was to match the sheet template number to the correct
software setting, much like what you do with cups hplip......
It was a over a decade ago, so I'm quite certain those solutions
have just morphed into one of the currently maintained sofware
packages. Sorry I could not be more specific. Perhaps someone else will
chime in.....
hth,
James
