pearLabelizer is a little utility that makes it a breeze to print addresses or other text onto specific labels of a label sheet. It's pretty straight forward to use, and hey, it even supports drag & drop directly from MacOS X's Address Book. Of course you can configure your own label sheets or print addresses for whole groups defined in Address Book too.Besides drag & drop of text or addresses you can also use a global text view to enter an address, format it and print it on multiple labels. You can select indiviual labels by (command)-click or click & drag to select multiple labels at once. pearLabelizer also provides a Service-function if you copy it into your Applications-Folder. This allows you to simply select the address in your text editor, choose the pearLabelizer-Service from the Services-Menu and finally all you have to do is select the label on which you would like to print the address.

Great App but there is a very serious Bug!!!...

...***WARNING***<br />This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />NOTICE TO DEVELOPER - I highly recommend the product but....
PearLabelizer is a great app but after experienceing some problems printing with my Epson printer after using PearLabelizer I had to do some digging. After some research I found that this app deletes saved printer presets (such as paper, colorsync, color/b&w, profiles, etc...,) once you open the app. I tested it three times - making a preset using an Epson printer, then opening up PearLabelizer, then going to the print dialog and the same thing happens - All my saved presets are reset to the default settings.
I use an EPSON 3800 Printer / OSX 10.4.11 so it may just be this printer and OS combo so try it if you have a different printer, brand and/or OS.
HELP!!!!
Does the job

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />It's ridiculous that Address Book does such a bad job of printing labels. This little app mostly fills the bill. Be sure to read the "read me" file so that you understand how to load the Avery templates.
My only quibbles are that the font sizes seem to come out on the labels much larger than they should for some reason (an Ariel 10 looks more like an Ariel 12) and that there doesn't seem to be a way to fine-tune line-spacing. Also, printing seems slow from this app. But hey, the program's free and it works!
great!

It's a mystery Apple hasn't hired the author to build similar functionality into the address book after all these years.
Thank you, W. Ritter
It's freeware and I shouldn't complain, BUT...

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />(Using Tiger) I found it pretty straightforward looking, compared to the numerous label makers I've used over the years, but it just didn't do groups from my Address Book as it should. Drag and drop individually worked alright, but not dragging an entire group. The fold-out 'drawer' at the right hand side of the label page didn't seem to work well, and seemed frozen half the time. Faster for me to go into Word and print off labels, or else just get by with Address Book's limited label capability.
Very handy
