[Koha] Barcode

[Rosalie Blake]

Hello Rick and everyone
We don't use the barcode printers in Koha because we are unable to print 
labels inhouse which are of as high, permanent quality as ones we can 
purchase. In the long run, it's cheaper to buy labels that will last 
than to hassle with an inhouse module.

It's not that we're usually mum...  ;-)
