Re: [Kbarcode] generating a bunch of barcodes on 1 page

Have your tried using the [serial] tag instead of sequence?  As you're
processing them for printing, it will ask you what number you want to start
on (1001 or whatever you choose) and it allows you to choose the number of
characters that show by leaving leading zeros in case you want more than 4
characters.  The next step is the amount of advance with each one - the
default is 1, fine in this case.

Something I've found beneficial, also, is to print to pdf instead of to a
printer, it allows you to view the file before you print it and you also
have it around in case you want to print it again.  You'll need cups-pdf
installed and configured with your cups setup to do that though.

Good luck.
