Are there any current label printers that works with Linux/amd64?

Hi,

Does anyone have a current label printer working with 
Linux/amd64?

Brother QL-580N appears to be decent hardware, but apparently 
a brick under amd64[1][2].  Neither the install instructions 
(--force-all) or the source code I looked at inspired confidence.

Dymo is supported under CUPS, but bug 640246[3] suggest current
models are not supported.  Apparently the LabelWrite 450 have
some design issues causing jams if you print multiple labels at a 
time.

Zebra printers appears to be supported by CUPS (CPCL, EPL1, EPL2, 
and ZPL).  This should cover their least expensive model (LP 2824 
Plus), but the hardware is still a bit pricey.

Printing on sheets does not work out too well for a label at a 
time application.
