It cannot be any worse that trying to get stuck labels out of an Okidata. J

We like the 450's, but sometimes label tracking in the printer can get off. Make sure the sides on the spindle are as tight to the roll of labels as you can get it ('squeeze the snot out of it', I tell our librarians) and it will be fine. And labels can get stuck. Never try to pull the labels back through. The printer can be dissembled but it's no fun.

We need to replace it as soon as possible. I've seen the survey that was taken on printers before the last upgrade; however the last upgrade did not work well with our microline. What I need to know is which printers have worked well since the upgrade. Any and all information on the printers you are using and how they work with Evergreen at this point would be greatly appreciated.
