I wrote & support a perl module for printing labels, if you need to do
that sort of work. I even have example scripts for generating Xmas
card labels from a Palm Pilot database. The code has also been used
by folks to print diskette labels, labels for photographs, and labels
in Portugese and Finnish.

Does require a little perl hacking though - no GUI.
