That might be nifty if there were some way to fancy it up a bit,  either
with fonts or even a bit of graphics...

I don't like to do much in the way of graphics on a dot matrix printer,  it
works the printhead too much.  I know of a guy who brought me a printer one
time to install a color kit into,  and when I did that he used it to do
color picture graphics with it.  This was before inkjets became as popular
as they have.  He brought it back to me some time later for a printhead
replacement.

But a little bit on labels,  that probably wouldn't be too much.
