Printing test results on labels

Could anyone suggest the most suitable method for printing 4 lines of test results onto labels.
 
The labels total 24 and are held on one A4 sheet, each label having the results from each item tested.
 
Is it possible to do this directly in Labview or would it be better to save the results to a database and then extract the results from there, formating and printing using third party software?

If you don't mind printing all the labels at the end once you have collected all 24 sets of data, then it should be possible to design a VI such that it have numerous text indicators corresponding to your label array. Then you can just print the front panel and if you have got everything aligned properly the text fields on your front panel will print onto the labels.

Note: LabVIEW does not exactly play nicely with scaling things when printing, expect quite a lot of trial and error here!
