Is that the only way they don't work?

I think patron cards aren't very customisable and I don't remember
whether I've tried to customise the book labels.

How doesn't it work?  That's not a useful bug report or even pointer
towards how to do something which would let me submit a bug report. :-(

As far as I know, the co-op's client libraries are using the Koha
printer to make PDFs which are then printed onto cards or labels.  We
did some customisation work to add library logos to patron cards which
I submitted some time ago.  If there's interest, I'll resubmit it for
3.06 because I don't think it was accepted into 3.0.x (the LogoCards
system preference would show if it was), but I think the label
printers are all changing in 3.2, so it might not be worth it
otherwise.
