Does anyone know if there is a Linux compatible label printer available?
I have an old Seiko but it's never worked with Linux. I see a Dymo driver
listed in CUPS, does anyone know the Dymo 450 works with this driver?

Do you mean "work with linux" or "work with cups" ? I've driven all kind
of labelprinters from all kinds of 'nixen, but always through lpr.

I have a Dymo LabelWriter 450, which works great with CUPS. I'm using
the "Dymo Label Printer" driver. As a bonus, here's a little .bashrc
function:

# print an address label
function label { enscript -r -d dymo450 -B -f Helvetica10 -M Address ; }

which goes along with the following .enscriptrc file:

# name width height llx lly urx ury
Media: Address 81 252 10 10 71 242

I give the command 'label', then type in each line of the label I want
to create. When I hit ^D, it comes spitting out of the Dymo.

Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to hear.
