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.....

I just ordered Seiko SLP 650, apparently it support Linux.
It has Linux CUPS Driver

For an example:

http://www.onlinelabels.com/ol875.htm

This approach allows you to use any laser/injet printer.
You have to match the form numbers up between the sheet
of paper and the printer software, as they define the number
and geometry of the lables to the printer.

What you are going to do is ok for small volume. But your per label
printing costs will be significately higher than using standard
label forms, imho.

If you have lots of lables to print, having more than one machine
is not a bad idea anyway....

goodluck,
James

http://www.sheet-labels.com/labels/all_label_sizes/?lmc_track=8887947849&gclid=CJfbpMG6pL4CFUQaOgodSFMAWg


This pages shows some of those "for digit avery form numbers".

It's probably integrated into cups or hplip, I do not know for sure
becauses it's been more than a decade since I had set up label printing
for sheet label printing.

For the benefit of the archive, net-print/dymo-cups-drivers works for
each of the Dymo label printers, and glabels ships with templates for
most (all?) of the supports label sizes.
