gdymo

gdymo is a simple wrapper around ppl and gLabels that makes it easy to pick users from your existing ppl address book and create shipping labels for them as .pdf files. These can then be easily printed to a Dymo label printer. This is also my first bash project, and a chance to experiment with bash programming.

Installation

Ubuntu

git clone https://github.com/michaelplews/gdymo.git
cd gdymo
sudo chmod +x gdymo
sudo ln -s gdymo /usr/local/bin 

Usage

Usage: <OPTIONS>
-i  id of ppl entry
-a  address reference of ppl entry
-t  <US|UK> label format

Example:

gdymo -i president -a home

Results in:

president label

gLabels Templates

I am using template files that fit my Dymo printer, however these template files may need to be adjusted to fit your needs. Alternatively, you can rearrange the template files provided in this repo to create additional 'types' and specify the type by adding options to the -t option.
