Hi, I have just built e-commerce based web app but there is a need to print labels from within the back office to a laser jet with Avery A4 address labels. I could possibly use a Dymo 320 label writer instead. Luckily the back office is only viewed by IE6. If I was going to use the Avery method I'm unsure how to lay it out? Of course I could use CSS absolute positioning but what happens when I'm printing to the label on the 2nd row or 2nd column etc... I was thinking of using JS to position the labels dependent on what row\col I needed to print on but this could be cumbersome. I would only need to print one label at a time. So does anyone know of a way of integrating a semi-automated labelling system into the back office of a web application? If someone out there has solved this issue before I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on the matter before I try and reinvent the wheel myself! Any thoughts would be appreciated.

There is an old article (Last year I believe) in the Cold Fusion Developer's Journal to to just this.Print labels and other highly formatted content.I'm afraid I don't have the opportunity to look up the article just now, but I'll try it later today if nobody else can find it.
