Need a recommendation on a printer to handle label printing for an entire workgroup. The Seiko SLP line would work ok but I want to get away from having the connected workstation be on in order for "sharing". Network connected printer for labels is preferred??? Any thoughts?

Print server is not a bad idea, just looking for a recommendation on a strong printer to use in this type of environment.

Why not take an older PC and dedicate it as a server for the label printer?

My only other idea, is to see what Zebra has to offer.

I suspect that most label printer manufactures do not offer network type printers as most users print on a variety of different stocks. At the cost of labels and the thermal transfer ink, improper printing can get to be expensive.

Also, some of the label printing software is licensed per computer. So be cautious on sharing a label printer.
