For sending parcels "the normal way" (not DHL, Schenker, etc), you need to print a special parcel-label. The only way to print this label is to:

1. (Install a special network printer, "Zebra...", for printing labels)
2. Login to www.pacsoftonline.se (special user/pass, provided by Vaktmästare, [email protected])
3. Then specify the information about receiver, etc.
4. Print the label (to Zebra printer, or to PDF)

However, to communicate with the online printing made via pacsoftonline.se, another software needs to be installed: "UniFaun OnlineConnect"(?). Installers are available for Windows and Macintosh (the Mac-version doesn't work as expected, btw). There is no "Linux support".

I (JN) tried all this in early 2018, but run into problems like: "Java is not installed on your computer" (using Chrome, with Java installed...), and "UniFaun Online... is not started ... xdg-open doesn't support unifaun:// protocol", etc.

Current "Linux-solution" is to ask someone else to print the parcel label!

Description on a working solution is most welcome.
