Sure. Look in gnue-reports/samples/labels/ in that directory is the
syntax with parameters you can use. It will be for a certain brand of
Avery labels. You can then look at label-specs.dat to find a list of all
supported label types.

At that point just modify the sample labels.grd to suit your database
table layout and switch the label= param to be your style and you are good
to go. One pretty slick thing about gnue-reports (that isnt all that for
labels) is you can direct output to fax, printer, file or email. When you
are doing mail merges that becomes much more powerful. :)

If you run into issues either email the gnue list or stop by the IRC
channel. We can get you up and running.
