That is correct. The solution we've come up with needs to handle label sheets
with multiple sizes of labels. We've created a plugin that generates labels
using HTML and CSS, rather than generating PDFs. I decided to go the plugin
route do to the radical difference in functionality and the ability to react to
the need for changes.

Once the plugin can be considered 'stable' I would like to get community
consideration on integrating the plugin functionality into Koha proper.

I think the biggest consideration is that all the power this label printer
plugin comes with is at the cost of simplicity. I think we'd need to keep the
existing label maker as well. I don't think there would be an easy upgrade
path.
