[Ham-Computers] Printing Labels

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Bob, 	
	
	
A most interesting idea. Thank you. Not cost effective, but effective. Gee, that
seems to be a reoccurring theme among items the handicapped can utilize!	
	
Bob you are a clever guy, that is not news, I know. Thanks for another
insightful touch. 	
	
Now I hope that I can 'read' the web site - 	
	
The more I think about this, maybe I really should get out that electric Smith
Corona. Solves the problem, costs me nothing, well, other than a good cleaning.
If I can find anybody on this planet who knows what a 'typewriter' is! I even
have two new ribbons, but I have this feeling that they may be a little on the
dry side after being stored for ... Hmmm. Let's see here. Ah yes. that was the
last century, circa 1987. Well, I can always sell them you know where! "Rare!
Mint! Original! Like NEW ribbons for collectalbe Smith Corona ..." Yea, right.

Hi Duane,

I would suggest you consider a label printer such as those made by Seiko or
Dymo.  Here are two web links:
http://www.siibusinessproducts.com/products/printers.html
http://www.dymo.com/home.jhtml?overwriteProfile=Y&websiteId=DYMO_en_US

You will have to use their special labels which run about $20 for 350
address-size labels and their Windows software which integrates with popular
applications such as Word and Outlook.  They are small, connect via serial
or USB, and since they are designed to print one label at a time on demand I
think this would be an easy solution for you to use, especially since it
would not affect your normal printer setup.  Hope this helps.

73, Bob W9RAN
