I am looking to buy a label printer to use both with eCS and Windows.
Ideally I should be able to connect the printer to a network in order to use
it from several computers, the second best choice would be a USB version.

Any suggestions? Experiences?

Do you mean a printer that prints from a roll of fixed size labels? Or
one that can print pre-cut label sheets?
You could also buy a small print server that has USB ports on it. That
would make the choice a little more flexible.

I know nothing about them in practice; but ISTR Dymo (who ISTR2
were taken over by Esselite(?) so may have changed names) sells
label printers -- a natural development from their long running
labelling business. (Any else remember Dymo tape? I still use
my clunky-clicky label maker, with plastic tape from the 70s.)

A print server with USB ports sounds like the right ticket since label
printers with USB ports are much cheaper.
