Regarding DeskJet+ and labels:

I was aware that certain labels do seem to work with the DeskJet+.
Its just that we did not design or test the printer for use with labels.
This means we did not check for problems like paper jam and paper pick.
Hence officially, we don't support the use of labels.  Some labels
can even "skoot off" the paper while printing, making an awful mess :-).

In a similar light, I have printed transparencies on PaintJet
transparency film (HP PN 51630Q) and the results are acceptable (but not
perfect) in my humble opinion.  However, the film is thicker than
recommended paper thickness and could have similar problems with jamming
and paper picking.  Hence officially, we don't support printing on
transparencies, even special ones.

Of course a lot of stuff will work that is not officially supported.
I just have to be very careful with statements I make on the net
about the DeskJet printers.  Even though I don't work in product
support, I am an HP employee who is very familiar with the DeskJet
printer, so am viewed as a "representative" of HP when I answer
questions about the DeskJet printers.
