What I do is use sheets with multiple labels per sheets, but then only put 
text on a template (in officewriter) for the labels I need.  Then when I need 
more, I erase that text, add text for the labels not yet printed, and run the 
sheet though my printer again.

That works fine on an inkjet printer, it probably would not work on a laser 
printer because heating the sheet of labels each time might damage / 
deteriorate the labels.
