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. > > I just ordered Seiko SLP 650, apparently it support Linux. > It has Linux CUPS Driver > http://labelprinters.sii-thermalprinters.com/t/Support%20Software%20and%20Driver%20Downloads > If you have lots of lables to print, having more than one machine is not a bad idea anyway.... goodluck, James
