	Yes, you should be able to print labels to most of the newer Eltron
with most operating systems.  Eltron printers have an ASCII control
language; see:

	There is also a bit-page programming mode on some models, but I've
not worked with that.

	These printers are designed to print only one (or a few) labels at a
time.  I've had some reliability problems with Eltron printers when they
were asked to print only a few hundred labels a day.  (I haven't done any
programming in them for several years, so I might be out of touch with
current models.)
