Actually, printing is available from Calibre from the previewer. A plugin could could probably be written pretty easily to generate barcodes and insert them into the metadata based on whatever criteria you want to use (ISBN? ASIN? Author+Title+Series?) Since I'm not sure what is meant by "child protection" I can't tell if that's something that is feasible to do using a plugin. I guess you could create a custom column with a certain flag and write a plugin that would hide books with that flag from being shown unless a special password is entered. Is that what is meant by "child protection"?
