The Zebra desktops are very reliable and robust.

Re. your earlier question,

    Is it possible that the sample labels are parameterised such that
    they print the "date received" instead of "sample date"?

Modifying the label itself, is done in the code at the moment in 
template language TAL. It does not require high level programming 
skills, though one of them can do you a label very quickly provided with 
measurements and mock-up with tags and data. Probably time those manuals 
get written to...-)

Replacing just one field would be easy, had a quick scratch in the code, 
get your programmers to have a look at the 2 label .pt template files, 
oddly called 'stickers', /sample_sticker_large.pt 
/and/sample_sticker_small.pt/ for the 2 label sizes.
