Personally I just use full sheets of labels and avoid this problem
altogether.

)
Sheets with a few labels left can also be used on the end of a print
run "upside down" to use up left-overs. Other left-over labels can be
used for other things (eg. handwritten labels on file folders).
You can also peel the unused labels off of one sheet and stick them
into gaps on another. **BUT** make sure they are properly stuck down
before feeding them through a printer again - trying to get a stuck
label out of the insides of a printer can be a messy and / or expensive
problem to fix.
If only I had that luxury. Often I have to print one or two labels at
a time for invoices, items sold, etc. so that would leave ALOT of
"other uses" I'd have to find for them.

I use the single column labels, avery 4065. That way, it's prints out what I need, no more no less. That particular box is the continuous type, but I separated them all into their sheets (12 a sheet) when I get them.

I looked into two different ones, but neither sounded very reliable.
Besides, the last thing I need is one more device on my desk. :-)

DYMO!
We use them in many pharmacies & labs - some printing hundreds (500+)
of labels a day everyday. Only had 1 problem when a user pulled a
label off - but pulled it straight out rather than tearing it off -
jammed it. Pulled out the roll, re-wound it, 30 seconds later it was
back in business.

If you don't run full sheets i.e. Avery type - Dymo is the way to go
for runs under a sheet's worth!
Just my $0.02.
