My goal is to have 6 characters printed across the center of the label. It prints like this: $ echo 123456 | lpr but the text is in the upper corner of the label, it has the wrong orientation, and the font is too small. It also prints like this: $ lpr test.png but the text doesn't come out very crisp, and I'd rather not create a file with imagemagick for each label to print. Is there another way to print large, properly oriented text on the fly? - Grant
