glabels: Ready For Prime Time

Posted by timothy on from the small-business dept.

Joe Barr writes "NewsForge is running a review of glabels. It's still in beta status, but it's ready for prime time now. It knows hundreds of predefined label formats and allows you to design your own templates for custom work. Barcodes, images, just about anything but MP3 tracks can be printed on them. glabels is destined to become one of the most popular native apps for Linux." If you need harder-core barcode support, the excellent kbarcode would probably make a good complement. (NewsForge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN.)

    ..back in The Day we'd just "cat > /dev/lpt" and do it right the first time. If the client was lucky we'd remove the tractor feed strips off the "cards". Fancy pants, downtown GUIs and pointing and clicking and carousing and hooliganism...

    Oh yes, because I can't make it through the day without printing labels.

    Either this is a statement about the status of Linux apps, or a comment on the poster's anal retentivness.

    Sorry, you can't have it both ways. Nope.

    Think 'Windows'.
