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.

Barcode technology & printers have been around for a long time (at least in
high tech spans). Visit the websites of one or two of the biggies in the
business. You should find white papers and other explanations that will tip
you in the right direction.

There are different "plugins", most seems to be commercial ones.
If you are interested in postscript based barcodes, then you can take a look
at www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/index.html

Why do the same work twice? http://pear.php.net/package/Image_Barcode
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'm pretty clear on barcode generation
per-se, so perhaps my quetsion wasn't as clear as it should have been,
I'm more concerned about the practical ability to align a web page
printout with printer label stock... i.e. I can generate a page with
rows of barcodes on them, but how do you ensure that the bracodes and
the labels line up when output?
Thanks again.

It sounds difficult to do because of the way people might have set up
their browsers (margins, headers, etc). I think what you probably need
to do is either build a postscript or pdf file via the webpage, and send
that to printer, or alternatively, talk to the printer directly via
serial/parallel port (albeit, that's a lot of work).

The best way to have exact positioning is to create a PDF.
Have a look at www.fpdf.org
There are several scripts with barcodes.
Just dump it to the PNG image. White and black won't take much size.

I need to print barcodes with normal characters on labels
from my which has a VB.net front end. The database is a
library system, the barcode represents the bookid - the
isbn is not used. The book name needs to be printed under
the barcode. The printing can be done on sheet labels.
Can anyone advise or point me in the direction of a
suitable module please?

Hello Group:
I am in the planning stages of an application that will be accessed

Is there an easy way to generate barcodes using Python -- considering
the application will be printing to a printer at the...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
