Since you don’t know your use case, I’ll also mention a different approach that solved a similar problem, which is how I’d go about it if I needed color labels, a lot of labels, or special labels for outdoor use, etc.

Which is to combine a normal, (in my case, a laser) printer, and use something like this: https://www.herma.co.uk/office-home/product/weatherproof-film-labels-a4-white-extremely-strong-adhesion-4581/

The Herma brand were decent quality, and also had templates (see link example, a bit further down on the page). The downside is that you need to put in some effort. But if you want full control, high quality labels, that’s not a bad way to do it.

Is the one I went for. I like the flexibility in being able to use different width rolls. I don’t have a lot of suggestions other than that, since it depends a lot on which use case you have.

I think all of them use the same app (don’t quote me on it), which had decent enough reviews: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.project.aimotech.printmaster

I’m sure there are other brands too.

Don’t know if you’ll get something for as low as $20, but a small thermal printer. Functions as a label maker on steroids, there is no ink, or proprietary* paper. Some thermal paper rolls have built in stickers, some are transparent, some have special shapes and colors, etc.

I’ve used it to label plants, tools, cables, boxes, so-so-many gridfinity boxes. It takes 1-2 seconds from hitting print to having it ready.

* not entirely the case, in that some have set sizes, or markings to automatically feed and count. However, these are low tech, and there are third party vendors.

Next they’ll inject ads into the video steam, at random locations with random ordering and length.

Anything special you needed to do? I have the HTC Vive, and I’ve tried a few times over the years, without any success. Last time was about 2-3 years ago.

SteamVR works on Linux? What headset, if I may ask?
