Michael,
This is rather vague. Do you need a hardware printer interface or a way
to actually draw the bars given an already connected printer? What type
of bar code (e.g., Code 25, UPC, Code 39)?
If you need the hardware interface, I would recommend looking at
PalmPrint by Stevens Creek Software. If it doesn't have the features
you are looking for, it may help you better define what it is you really
want/need.
If you need software to take a given alphanumeric stream and print a bar
code from that (say, in code 39), then there are a number of approaches.
Here's how I did it:
I have a Windows True-Type font for Code 39 that I was working with as
my starting point.
In Word, I drew each character with plenty of white space around it. I
then did a screen shot of each character, cropped it, and saved it as a
monochrome bitmap. I then loaded that stuff into a resource database
and wrote some code to abstract all that as well as drawing to the
screen (which is what I needed to do at that point). If you just need
the bitmaps for each character, then this will work for you, except you
dump the binary data to the printer instead of the screen.
How many people need to do this stuff? If there's any sufficient
demand, maybe I'll publish what I have. Please reply privately at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if there is any interest.
