Not as far as I know - Well there are a bunch of other possibilites though.

You could use MS word or Wordperfect to print the labels from a mail merge 
-  Should be possible using blank paper to get a geometric layout just 
right, then setup your printer with some blanks to try it.

Alternatively, access or excel (which are better at handling lists) might 
give more acceptable results. Also, the print software from Avery labelling 
co is  pretty good as I remember : we used it in lab environment to print 
off all kinds and sizes of labels for chemicals :-)

Finally, if you somehow got stuck with providing this as a web based 
solution, CSS might have some answers : look up on google terms like 
'page-break-before' , 'page-break-after' , 'margin-width' etc - these style 
attributes can offer some control over printing of html documents (the page 
break mean the printer wil advance to the next sheet). Use CSS-P to layout 
the page first in a recognised print unit - pt, in, mm etc.

PHP should be the least of your problems with this.

Cheers,
Neil Smith.
