in reply to Printing Labels

Personally, I would look at anything that can do absolute positioning (HTML with CSS, SVG, maybe LaTeX?, ...), and then create a template containing the fields for each of the 10 adhesive labels. Filling this template is then easy.

In the past I had good success with using HTML and mm units in CSS to position and size elements, but I've used a browser to print the HTML.

For SVG, you can use Inkscape to print to PDF or directly print the template.

    Thanks Corion

    I'd overlooked mm in CSS...I shall give that a go.

    Using a browser to print the labels is actually preferable here. The data is accessed via a browser so using PDF or SVG formats would mean downloading a file and printing that, which is, of course, an extra step.
