Along with the others, I've always used Zebra Printers and have never had a problem. Ditto on the Seagull Scientific drivers. Those folks have been around for quite some time now and have the driver stuff nailed.
As far as label choice, I would talk to a Zebra rep since label longevity is a critical concern. There are various types of media that can be used for printing bar codes and when doing a bar code application, it's very important to match the type of media for the use intended. I'd stick with Direct thermal if you can, but many of the direct thermal types are subject to sunlight or extreme heat (especially ones that can be scanned in near infrared). Doesn't really sound like that would be an issue though for court documents. I'd probably worry more about moisture.
