[ubuntu-uk] Label Printer Drivers

[Tom Woodington]

I have previously done some work with label printers and drivers.
Specifically I wrote a program to convert application data into labels
out of the printer from scratch in Perl

Pretty much all the label printer manufacturers (Zebra, Sato, TEC etc)
support a text based instruction format so using a plain text driver
would make the most sense.
