Howard,
You could put the dymo tape on to a card and attach the card to the wire
of the wall wart. You've probably seen cardboard tags attached to
furniture or appliances with a twist tie kind of thing. You can buy them
and cut to size, or homebrew your own. If you don't want to twist a wire
around your power cord, use tiny zip ties or strip some insulation off 22
ga. wire and tie it in place. You can tag either the supply end, or the
device end, or both.
73, Steve aKW3A
