Good question.

But how do you address the need for a few labels at a time? An entire sheet
of Avery label stock consumed to generate 2 or 3 labels would quickly drive
up the Laserjet consumables cost.

And "recycling" partially used sheets of laser label stock is not a good
idea. Do you know how hard it is to get an errant label out of the guts of a
LaserJet? AMHIK.

Suggestions welcome,
