If the printer has a standard Windows driver, that aspect of your project is
not a problem. I recently did a contract project that use a special printer
to print mailing addresses onto sticky labels that come one after another on
a roll. To do this I used CSS to create a web page that was correctly sized
for the labels. The little printer jacked into a USB port and handled page
feeds (i.e. rolling to the next label) automatically. It was easy.
I have never used barcodes, but I am aware of two potential solution paths
for you. One is to use a barcode font (they exist for Windows). The other
is to use an application that creates barcodes for you as images (gif, jpg,
whatever) and then you print the images. There are Perl modules that do
that sort of thing.

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to solve a particular
problem. A client wants to print barcode labels from their (web/php
based application). The barcode labels are very small, so I'm guessing
that doing a screendump via a standard inkjet isn't going to work
(i.e. might need somehow to print to a barcode printer!)
Any ideas where to start?
Thanks in advance.
