The past two weeks I called out popular and widely-used software. This week I'm going the opposite, and mentioning something really niche.
I was looking to print some QR codes and found the lprint software:
https://www.msweet.org/lprint/index.html
It supports label printers, and includes a CLI tool as well as presenting them as normal printers to the OS. I was able to get a cheap, used label printer and use it on Linux.
It seems to be a one-person project, nicely done.
