Thanks Irv,

I spent all day figuring out the barcode for numbers 0-9. Collected every
envelope we had laying around with barcodes on them and luckily found all
the numbers. With a writeup from one of the sites you told me about earlier
I could figure them out. Many thanks. But when I tried to 'draw' bars on the
printer, I got stuck! Apparently drawLine in win32lib does not work with the
Printer (or I've done something incorrectly again.) I looked in all my
fonts for anything close to a bar but couldn't find anything. I remember way
back in ancient history (early last year) that somebody posted a couple of
printer routines for printing from Windows. One of the things was a line
drawn diagonally across the page and some text. I can't find it anymore
right when it would be useful. I'm sure it used TextOut in some way. I
looked at the c example in one of the sites you posted earlier. I don't know
C and the program wanted to link an .obj library. Guess that is where the
graphics are to draw the barcode.

I'll give the new site a look tomorrow and download.

In the meantime, does anybody know how to draw a line or narrow rectangle to
the printer?
