i just finished adding the ability to pick which label to start printing
on. so it does not always start with the upper right hand corner. so now
you should be able to print 1 label anywhere on the page.
i will upload this change and any others i make later on today.

humm . . . multiple part, i will have to think about how to do this. i
really like your multiple parts suggestion #2 bellow. i thought about
color indicators. i think i can do that.

yeah i just have not got around to it yet. this should be easy to do. i
have had another request to render the parts using pov-ray. i have to
learn how to use pov-ray first but it seams like it would be doable for
those who want to have some really high quality labels.
