I don't know that I "need" this, but I'm looking at a particular issue. Here's what I want.
a) Something portable that will print WIDE, 6 line labels--like you might find on an envelope or package. So that eliminates these hand-held "Dymo" type label printers.
b) Something that would print with a smartphone.
I saw a bluetooth battery-operated label printer that might work (Epson??); can't remember, but can find it. I'm not sure if it was wide enough.
I own an older Brother label printer that connects to a computer with a USB cord. It's this one:

I like that one fine, and it "might" work, but it's not bluetooth. Can I somehow connect that to my phone?
Any other suggestions?
My requirements? Easy and cheap. If it's not easy, I'm not interested. I want to be able to zip out a mailing label, or a label for a file folder, or a box, on a moment's notice, without having to resort to going to a computer to do it. And if it's not cheap, I'm also not interested. It's a mini-luxury, not a need, but something that would be kind of "handy."
Let me know if you have run across anything like that before, or if you use something like that in your work.
