I don't have a 'regular' printer, just thermal label (Brother QL570 I think) and 3D (Prusa Mini) printers, heh. At some point I realised the only thing I printed was Amazon return labels, and a thermal label printer was more suited to the job (no ink to dry or run out and need replacing) so that's what I got.

You can get A4 (or US letter I assume) or whatever sheets of labels for a 'regular' printer yes, but that's honestly not as convenient as a roll, especially a continuous roll where it prints to whatever length and then chops off. Especially if your use is occasional, don't want to print a whole sheet at once - and even if you do, I don't know how good the tooling is for laying out an A4 sheet of pre-cut labels with a different address in each one?
