bulletDesktop Printers are designed for low volume applications or where a small footprint is required (203 or 300dpi models)
bulletTable Top Printers are designed for higher volume applications or where an industrial grade printer is required. Aside from dpi, other differences may include industrialized construction, print speeds, ability to provide precision print placement (Important for small laboratory labels), and varying ribbon/roll capacities. 
bulletHow are you going to send data to the printer?  Hard-coding is an option, but it takes time to set this up, and even minor changes can become burdensome. Print using Windows Drivers is an option, but it is less flexible in the label setup and still requires that the bar codes be created in the application, which can be a challenge all on its own.  The third and best option is to utilize a print and design package like BarTender® or CodeSoft 7.
bulletHow do you anticipate connecting the printer (Serial, Parallel, USB, Internal / External Ethernet)?
