If you were in town, I'd be able to loan you one, but I don't have one
to mail out, sorry.  :(

Oh, that's right, the L is for Little, right?  I remember these things. 
They're not terribly sturdy, but they print nicely.  If you do get it
working (email me if you need help), make sure you flip the lever DOWN
to print labels, unless you like pulling stickies out of the rollers. 
Bleah, that's a pain.  Stupid profs.
