if anyone has any tricks for controlling them from the command line (rather than openoffice or some gui label-printing app), i'd love to hear about it.
A Web search identified http://www.red-bean.com/labelnation/ as promising. (There's no debian package, apparently.)
thanks. it looks like it's intended for full-page (A4, US Letter, etc) sheets of labels that you feed into a laser or inkjet printer. useful if you want to print lots of labels at a time, but painful if you want to print one or two at a time (you have to tell the software to skip the first X labels on the sheet and hope it all lines up properly). i'm thinking of one of those little dymo or brother or whatever USB label-printers that print on a thermal-sensitive roll, and you cut off the label once it's printed. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #112: The monitor is plugged into the serial port
