I've used the USPS label printing with linux & mozilla based browsers
without too much trouble. When I firsted used it a year or so ago, I did
have a bit of an issue with the bar code printing outside its box a
little (only under linux) but I haven't even noticed that lately.
Somebody mentioned that it only seems to be set up for packages. They
could be right. Always when I've used it it was for packages, so didn't
even notice. I poked around it a little yesterday and couldn't find
anything for letters. Kind of a shame, I was thinking of using it for
that. Guess I'll have to go another route.
