Printing barcodes for lab samples would be a very nice feature for us. 
I'm guessing that there is another way to get this done using something 
FOSS without resorting to the LIMS.  Does anyone know of such a thing?

We'd need to be able to generate a bar code on the fly in a web browser. 
It doesn't sound like a hard problem, but it might be.

Maybe this will work:

http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=9924

It says "The generated barcodes can be directly printed or you can export 
them into images to use them in another application."  Which sounds like 
what we want.  We would want to read data from an SQL database and 
generate an image in the browser window.
