I called HP to ask them why you can't use laser printer labels
in a DeskJet/Writer.  Sure enough, standard labels tend to come
off their backing in the paperfeed mechanism.  However:

HP now makes special labels for the DeskJet/Writer -
92296 labels, call HP at 1-800 538 8787 for order info.
These labels have a special glue which makes the backing 
adhere better, and not come off in the paper path.

Also (this information given by HP support), Avery makes labels
for the DeskJet/DeskWriter:  they MUST have a gold starburst on
the box saying "FOR DESKJET".  I checked with the local EggHead,
and they already had mailing labels, but not yet the ones for 
floppy disk labels.  You can also order direct from Avery:
(818) 969 3311 x3369.
