Here is a selection of Unix & Linux Barcode Programs I found.
These programs are CLI only, OP requested GUI
GNU Barcode is a tool to convert text strings to printed bars. It supports a variety of standard codes to represent the textual strings and creates postscript output.
Main features of GNU Barcode:
- Available as both a library and an executable program
- Supports UPC, EAN, ISBN, CODE39 and other encoding standards
- Postscript and Encapsulated Postscript output
- Accepts sizes and positions as inches, centimeters, millimeters
- Can create tables of barcodes (to print labels on sticker pages)
Features
Availabe types of barcodes:
EAN13 and EAN8, EAN128, UPCa and UPCe, addon code 2- and 5-digit, Code39, Code93, CODE128, Interleaved 2 of 5, Industrial, Matrix, Codabar. Code 11, PZN, DBP-Barcodes
- horizontal and vertikal output
- automatic checksum-calculation
- different module sizes
- line with text in clear
- barcode and text in one line (= banding with matrix- and
PCL3-printer)
The central software solution for bar code printing from SAP.
iXBC is the ideal barcode print supplement to SAP R/3 and mySAP for all SAP printing possibilities:
Direct printing from server - with nativ PCL or Postscript device from UNIX and Windows
Indirect printing - with SAPWIN device
Direct printing from server
You install it only once on the server and all PCL and PostScript printers on the network are immediately able to print barcodes - without hardware plugin in each printer and without middleware. AGOSYS offers this solution since 1998, as the world's first.
Product variants:
- iXBCserver for UNIX Platforms
- AIX
- HP-UX
- Linux
- Solaris
- Tru-64
- iXBCwin for all Windows Platforms

On-Tap VMS or UNIX bar coding software runs as a stand alone program and directly translates (filters) your text into bar codes. Once On-Tap has bar coded your file, you can send it to any printer anywhere within your network.
On-Tap lets you print VMS or UNIX bar codes from within your existing applications in minutes. Simply place a special trigger character before and after the information you'd like to bar code. When you print, bar codes will appear in place of the information you've marked. It even lets you change the trigger characters and control the spacing around each bar code. No other bar code software has these flexible features.
Barcode Studio is the ideal tool for barcode design and bar code creation. This barcode maker software supports all common linear codes, all 2D-Codes, GS1-DataBar/RSS and Composite Codes. Barcode Studio prints the bar codes on arbitrary printers or exports them as image.

Zint has a GUI, thanks to user @Thomas W.
Follow its build and install guides.
When done, run:
zint-qt
with an &
at the end (to fork it to the background)
