MS Power Apps / Canvas Apps
Connected to a Sharepoint List

Scenario:
Created an Canvas App that allows, filtering and lookup from a list of around 7,000-10,000 records
 
How it works:
At text box is provided for a number to be input,  Then a filers / search occurs.  The box is an ID number is input (upto 7 characters).
It then filters these records and returns data to a gallery.
In the gallery there's data and also a check box by each.

The gallery can range from 1 record to 15 records each with an “Item ID”, “Item Description” and a “Check Box”  (this check box when checked will confirm that these are the records requested for printing labels.  Associated with the records returned there are other fields that are available but not displayed, for simplicity reasons.  These other fields are “Name”, “Address Line 1”, “Address Line 2”, “City”, “State”, “Postal Code”.

What I’m trying to accomplish:
On the gallery screen I would like to place a button to print mailing labels with the information (Mailing name and address data), printing each label to a Brother QL-820nwb label printer.
Printing each label individually but should loop and continue printing until all of the records in the gallery are printed.
 
I would like some ideas on how to print these labels.

    I would recommend to convert your data into HTML and then PDF and then Print.
     
    > Format the labels using HTML to match the printer dimensions - Pass the selected records (Mailing Name, Address) from the Canvas App to Power Automate. Use an HTML Table action to format the labels.
    > Use OneDrive Convert File action in Power Automate to generate the PDF  (PowerApps -> HTML -> PDF)
    > Print the PDF via network printing (save the PDF to a shared network folder where printer can access the file).

    You could use Power BI to generate a label report and interface it with Power Apps
