I would just like to confirm something.. I read here recently that someone was printing labels on their DeskWriter (at least I *think* they said DW). They were using Avery #5270 (this number may be wrong, I have it at home..). I looked up in an office supply catalog to find they're labels especially used for _laser_printers. From my experience, laser printers had a problem with labels because of their heat fusion. The problem with the DeskWriter is its 180 degree turn (which tends to peel the labels off the sheet). I'd just like confirmation (before I go out and buy cases of 'em) that the original poster(s) were printing on DW, not LW.. Thanks, Ron P.S. I promise I'll pay better attention next time..

I have not used mine yet but others have confirmed that it works. Jim (aka Susan) Margarit
