Hey Group; Whom ever suggested the Gnome program "glabels". Thanks! I downloaded it compiled it and it works great. One question is on a CD label with two labels per sheet, how do you get it to do "Disc 1 of 2" and on the other label "Disc 2 of 2". It is a nifty small program that does about any Avery label plus bar codes, pictures and more -- 73 de Donn Washburn Hpage: " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " 307 Savoy St. HAMs: " n5xwb@arrl.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador LL# 1.281.242.3256 " http://counter.li.org " #279316

It should have been on the SuSE CD. However, as far as I can see, you can either print two copies of the same label or just one, in either position.

I've built version 2.1.0 hoping I'd see some way of doing that, but I can find no options other than for printing one label, but that is a waste of half a sheet. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

I believe that the blank is layed out with the same distance from the top-of-sheet to the first-label as bottom-of-sheet to last-label. Just insert the sheet bottom first to print only the remaining label. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

You can either turn the sheet around or tell it to print the other label, on a second pass.

It doesn't seem to be something the program was designed for, but here's one way of doing it: create a text file with two lines Disc 1 of 2 Disc 2 of 2 Then edit the "merge properties" and select your file as a "comma separated file" Then create a text field on your label and in the properties of that text select "insert merge text" A little roundabout, but it works

Thanks Anders, I'd been playing with just that, but when I clicked on "Insert merged field" and only saw "${1} on the label, I thought it wasn't what I wanted, but print preview now shows up the two different labels.

I just installed glabels-2.0.2-3 and the glabels-debuginfo of the same version. No problem. But then I tried to run it from CLI and got the error message: "error while loading shared libraries: libglabels.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" So I looked for the libglabels package in the suse areas of a couple of ftp sites and couldn't find it. I did find a libglabels.so packaged by a third party, but I'm always a little hesitant about downloading something from someone I don't know. How have other people gotten around this? (I already tried compiling the glabels src.rpm, but it horked. So that's not an option for me.) tia, ken -- A lot of us are working harder than we want, at things we don't like to do.

Does the symlink exist. I had the same problem with something (glabels??) and it was missing. If missing "ln -s /opt/gnome/lib/libglabels.so.1.0.1 /opt/gnome/lib/libglabels.so.1", then run ldconfig.
