I do not have a dedicated label printer so I can only comment that the option exists
It also offers an option to utilize a dedicated label printer that produces individual labels from a spool. On a neighbours Brother 2270DW it works fineįor me Libreoffice was very functional in producing mailing labels on a sheet. The issue I was having in Libreoffice was that envelope printing did not correctly set sheet size and margins on my HP 5L laserjet. Please go search for my posts on TeX/LaTeX stack exchange for more info on these topics. From the top of my head TeX is wrong tool for writing man pages (use mandoc) and typing music (use Lilypond). I have to say as somebody who has been using TeX for the past 25 years that this is one of the gray areas where TeX appears to be the right tool but I have never found decent enough package to do labels the way I wanted. Second option is to use TeX or some kind package for LaTeX macros. However combination of Python and PostScript is very potent as programming in pure PostScript is slow to say at least (some of us have done it of course). PostScript is the kind a right language for the job since is page description language but it suffers from a lack of fonts. The first option is label nation Python script which uses pure PostScript as its backend to batch create the labels.
I am not sure it they are right tools for anything anyway.
Libreoffice just like Microsoft office is the wrong tool for such things. "Env10" is a LetterSize in the ppd but I'm not sure if it automatically sets landscape orientation.Īny recommendations regarding printing simple 4.13inch x 9.5inch envelopes? It looks like I can set the envelope dimensions with the a2ps -M with landscape orientation or with "-o" to the ppd output. My confusion is the printcap entry env10. I found this guide to generating and printing envelopes This issue now is that the envelope dimensions in libreoffice for #10 envelopes are incorrect. papersize(5) does not have envelope sizes. This appeared to be due to /etc/papersize having a default value of a4 which libreoffice still reads. Code: cat /usr/local/libexec/10 envelope in lowriter my default page size had changed to a4.
