More casualties of the upgrade - the software wasn't able to find the Seiko 
label printer on the serial port.  So on a Sunday morning (which didn't give me 
a lot of options) I had to buy another printer.

Seiko Smart Label Printer Pro     $35.00  With labels.

This is a serial interface thermal printer.  Will handle up to 2" wide 
labels, although I only ever used it for 1-1/8" x 3-1/2" address labels.  In 
original box with wall wart, serial cable (both 9 and 25 pin connectors), original 
docs, CD with current version software (2000 and later) and the version about 2 
years back (which I was using) that runs with 95, 98, NT4 and 2000.  Includes 
a full case (twelve rolls each of 130 labels) of mailing labels, current 
commercial (not consumer) cost about $70.00.  

I liked this printer.  It's the third of this family I have owned in the past 
decade.  The software is simple to use.  I often used it as a small pop-up 
notepad substitute to transfer addresses from emails into my accounting 
database, our auction management database or our postage printing software.  It worked 
a bunch better than its Brother replacement.  But I only had about a two hour 
window Sunday morning in which to buy a printer that would work with the new 
system board.  And there weren't a lot of places open the Sunday before 
Memorial Day.
