[TriLUG] Printing address labels

Any good advice for generating address labels? Here are the criteria:

1.) Must be scriptable (I'm generating 6000 of them); and
2.) Must be flexible, since for each subject I need to generate:
	- an address label; and
	- a custom sticker with a barcode, number, and date
3.) Strongly desired, but not absolutely required, is a single solution
that can do both, so a subject's address label can be printed next to
his/her barcode label, rather than on two separate sheets.

labelnation gets very close, but I can't figure out how to meet the
requirements of 3.), or even how to put a date on a sticker that includes
eps graphics from GNU barcode.

Thanks for any ideas.
