You can buy sheets of labels that will work in a standard inkjet printer, but that can be cumbersome if you just want one label at a time. A company called Dymo.... remember those old labelmakers that you'd use to print plastic labels by turning a wheel for each letter and then squeezing.....well today they have a line of LabelWriters that you can leave hooked up to the serial port of your Windows PC. Company chairman Andrew Newmark...
