Generic Label Printing

Hi Jim:

Where can I find the user manual for gLabels?

The offical doc at http://glabels.sourceforge.net/doc/ is almost empty.

FYI, I've found one article on how to use gLabels at, http://www.linux.com/articles/37044 you may want to link to it from your doc page.

What I am really up to is to know how I can do barcode printing with gLabels.

I tried gnu barcode and come up with this:

yes 12345 | head -84 | barcode -p 8.5x11in -umm -t 4x21+0+0-0-12.8 -g 36x12+7+0 -m 5,0 -e CODE39 > test.ps

But over 10 hours past (19 hours on wall clock) and over 80 test pages printed, I gave up trying. All my labels are still off the grid, but there is nothing further I can twist.

From google, I know gLabels was able to do barcode printing as early as Sep 2001, http://lists.linux.it/pipermail/barcode/2001-September/000036.html The latest version 0.98 of the GNU-barcode library was adapted in 0.4.4 on Aug 18th 2007, http://freshmeat.net/projects/glabels/?branch_id=17898&release_id=89165

But still there is no documentation on how to do batch barcode printing with gLabels. Could you give me a brief description on how to batch print a bunch of barcode on Avery 5167 family Address Labels, like the command above?

thanks
