Description:
 KBarcode is a barcode and label printing
application for KDE. It can be used to print
everything from simple business cards up to
complex labels with several barcodes (e.g. article
descriptions).
 
KBarcode comes with an easy to use WYSIWYG label
designer, a setup wizard, batch import of data for
batch printing labels (directly from the delivery
note), thousands of predefined labels, database
management tools and translations in many
languages. Even printing more than 10.000 labels
in one go is no problem for KBarcode. Data for
printing can be imported from several different
data sources, including SQL databases, CSV files
and the KDE address book.
 
Additionally it is a simple barcode generator
(similar to the old xbarcode you might know). All
major types of barcodes like EAN, UPC, CODE39 and
ISBN are supported. Even complex 2D barcodes are
supported using third party tools. The generated
barcodes can be directly printed or you can export
them into images to use them in another
application.
 
KBarcode is free software released under the terms
of the GNU GPL.

Changelog:
 KBarcode 2.0.3:

This release contains some important bug fixes and
a new feature. It is possible to keep the
batchprinting wizard open after printing, to print
twice with the same settings.
