I have also had this problem. I wrote some perl scripts at one time to
generate some postscript for printing for some small Avery labels. It took
a lot of trial-and-error.

I see that glabels at http://glabels.sourceforge.net/ "is designed to work
with various laser/ink-jet peel-off label and business card sheets that
you'll find at most office supply stores."

I don't know if it can use your MySQL data directly, but it allows reuse
of its library for outside software to use and I guess it can load in the
data from some text file.

If you give it a try, please let me know how it works for you.
