Another approach I've taken for working with a label printer is to generate postscript directly (from a shell script in my case). I modified text.ps from the psprint package in CTAN <http://www.ctan.org/get/dviware/psprint/unix/text.ps>. Postscript hacking is different from most of the languages you see these days, but once you get your head around the stack-oriented programming concept it's not too difficult.
