This might be of interest to some on the list. Printing envelopes in Linux
is easy enough, but the seemingly basic task of printing a single mailing
label on a 15-up sheet (for use on packages, large envelopes or whatever)
without wasting the 14 other labels had me going. This simple TeX program
will print on any label once you adjust the coordinates.

%printing single label on 15-up sheets

%fonts:
\font\cmssc = cmss14

%setup:
\parindent 0 pt\nopagenumbers\parskip 10 pt
\hsize 9.5 in\vsize 12 in\cmssc

%ADJUST OFFSETS FOR LABEL
%
%USE DEFAULT FOR TOP LEFT LABEL:
%\voffset .1 in
%\hoffset -.75 in

%ADD 2.25 in FOR EACH LABEL VERTICALLY,
%EX. FOR NEXT LABEL DOWN USE: 
%\voffset 2.35 in

%ADD 3 in FOR EACH LABEL HORIZONTALLY,
%EX. FOR NEXT LABEL ACROSS USE: 
%\hoffset 2.25 in
