I support some software on CPAN that builds mailing labels in PostScript.

I just got a query from a fellow who has a continuous-feed tractor printer
(an Okidata) who wants to print labels on it from Linux.

I think I gave away my old dot matrix a few years ago so I can't do any
testing. I suspect that creating a postscript file is probably not the way
to handle a continous feed printer - probably just want to send it raw
printing commands and text. Does anyone have experience with continuous
feed on Linux? How does it work? What sort of drivers do you need? Am I
making this too complicated?
