Spec me a label printer

Hi

I'm after a cheap label printer so I can neatly label ethernet sockets, cable ends and the ports on the patch panel. I will probably only ever use it once so a cheap one will do. Which one will do the job please that doesn't require cutting to the correct size?

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions. I looked at the Brother pt-e100 at hotukdeals but the half price deal from CPC has expired. For £23 that would have been a good buy.

It's still available for about the same price if you hunt. Listed on google shopping.

OCUK don't sell these do they? Anyway found it at Staples, thanks.

Edit - Ordered with 7% quidco too

What a load of rubbish, this Brother label maker takes 6 AAAA batteries and rechargeable ones are a bomb and doesn't even come with a power adapter supplied. :rolleyes:

ooh I've just seen you can hack 9v batteries to reveal AAAA

I selected free shipping when I ordered my printer and it hasn't actually arrived yet so I can't physically check, but...

All of the documentation states that it takes AAA (LR03) batteries. I can't see why they'd use difficult to obtain AAAA batteries and then get it wrong in the instruction leaflet.

whoops my bad they are indeed AAA, serves me right for trying to insert the batteries whilst in a dark room. I only have 4 AAA enloops though
