Indie dev here. I made an electron app to generate and print barcoded labels/images. It’s one of the only apps available allowing windows and macOS users to print to thermal printers without drivers.
You can create forms for variables that get injected/interpolated into barcodes/images.
I just added the ability to print from the command-line or via URL. I’m looking for label printing system integrators and offering free licenses if you mention you found my app on HN.
I’d love to work with people on issues like this. Cheers!

- semireg 5y agoMaybe not explicitly but the system did that for you implicitly. That’s an entire tangent of pain. My app, when possible, talks directly to the printer via USB at a low level, which means all page-size/speed/darkness/DPI/features of the printer can be controlled outside of what the operating system driver exposes. Each of your label designs can have their own print settings without having to tinker inside printing menus. Lastly, the app’s saved design files can be opened on both Mac and windows without worrying that the printing experience will be different.
