Hadn't seen that for ages, using Brother P-touch printers for
small amounts of work and Avery Zweckform paper + laser printing
for large cable installations.  This stuff (Avery paper),

spine modules (that's InfiniBand fabric) and other operations
without labels being ruined in any way.

Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be
