Hello evrybody,

Quickly : I want to print barcode directly under Unix (not BW print) on HP laserjet Printers.
I think I must buy additionnal cartridge or software fonts but is it possible without that.

If possible could someone explain me how ?

I read all post concerning barcode or type01, but they didn't answer all my questions.

Thanks for your answers.

Fred


PS : sorry for my bad english

it doesn't seems to be necessary always. Do you have a change or printing all the supported fonts out of the printer? At least for OCR-B the cartridge is not always necessary.

I have seen such list coming out of a laserjet together with the necessary esc sequences. Sorry but I don't have a laserjet on hand, if you don't succeed let me know and I will try to find the right documentation.

Hello, thanks for the answer

The printer are HP laserjet 4000 and 2000 series
I print the different font available as it was explain in the manual, but non barcode font.
I looked on the HP web site and found that I have to buy additionnal cartridge.

I trye some esc commands. I modified a file with an hex editor and printed it with lp command but no barcode.
I edit too a file with barfont printed trough optio, but the commands are not fonts command but graphical as for mee : commands like :
.*c11h0.&a+22H.*c11h0P

Let me know if you need more informations

To the best of my knowledge, BaaN will only produce the fonts
required for a BaaN code and your laser printer will need to understand these fonts I.E. the dreaded font cartridge.

Laser printers will print Barcodes without the cartridge, but these
'barcodes' would have to be graphical images that you would need to produce form some other source (like Java, a barcode software package or form package like JEtform)

Hope this helps?

That confirms what I mean.
Thank you
