A number of years ago I accomplished a similar need through the utilization of a client side print ocx which allowed the user to select a printer to be used for label printing. Once they selected the printer, I was able to manipulate the required settings and query paper size information that I would pass back to my label designer and return the HTML that I would then send to the printer. It worked beautifully and the clients loved it.
I do not remember the name of the control, but it was a commercial ocx. Our clients did a lot of label printing so installing the ocx was not an issue for them. I do not know how if you are intending for the client to print barcodes or not, but if this will be an administrative function it might be something to consider.

I was thinking of using CSS + cfdocument, but am concerned that PDF's crappy support of CSS will cause me trouble. Has anyone else done something like this? What do I need to look out for?
