Also https://www.adafruit.com/products/597 if you want to have a more generic case to build around.

And if you want something that "just works" then you can't go wrong with:

http://www.amazon.com/Brother-QL-570-Professional-Label-Prin...

$90 bucks (3x cheaper than the BERG), automatically cuts the labels, very fast, linux-support...

Does it really support Linux, or just Linux/ia32? The last Brother printer I had was binary only for Intel (when I dug into the drivers), which you might not think important, until you try to put it on your NAS or other server made of non-Intel (ARM, PPC, etc, etc).

Just goes to show again that you can ask for a healthy markup for good design (well if they succeed it goes to show again...).

You also need a purpose, not only good design.

I guess a Raspberry Pi could be perfect for connecting such a printer to the cloud.

Wonder if the BERG cloud will be "open" and available to other consumers, too.
