Label Printing

This is mostly a note to myself in the future, the current solution to the never ending problem of how to print mailing labels.  It shouldn’t be this hard…

  1. Export the addresses to be used from Google Contacts to an Outlook style csv file
  2. Open http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Templates-&-Software/Software/Avery-Design–Print-Online.htm
  3. Follow the prompts / wizard to create the right kind of labels
  4. Save the document as a PDF locally
  5. Print to label stock

That looks a whole lot simpler in retrospect than it seemed while doing it.

Why doesn’t Google Contacts have an “Export Labels” function?
