Qrencode (cmd line tool) generates png files, Qreator (gui tool) generates png files too. I think I will see if I can take a look at the source of qreator and see how hard it might be to "bend" it to do a line of text adjacent to the QR code. If I can do that, i have my solution, put it on some older computers and add a label printer and done. The Brother QL-570 will work quite well and Brother has a nice set of Linux/Unix drivers for their products. Worse case is I create the QR codes and use Gimp to put them into something that has a text line on it , then turn the whole thing into a small file to be printed. I do one for each piece of hardware I need to label.
