    Talking Printing labels for jam

    Hi all,
    strange request, I am trying to print some labels for jam jars (the Boss makes good home made jam) , using Kbarcode the only label printer I could find in the repos. I can add text and images to the label but it wont print the text out at the requested size. Every time I try it the text is like postscript. Tried Canon mp160 which works with turboprint and epson c44ux but both do the same thing . Any ideas or suggestions for other programs?

    thanks

    Phil (many brownie points riding on this)

    Like Wolfen69 I also like glabels, but I don't know if it prints bar codes. Actually never tried printing bar codes, but it prints everything else fine and dandy.

    I've never tried bar codes either, but in glabels, under the Objects tab, bar codes is an option.

    I know nothing about printing barcodes, but with a thread title like that I thought it would be rude not to pay a visit!
