>You more or less confirm my words. I don't say it's impossible, but a true pain, UNLESS you can obtain barcode fonts for the specific printer. But given the low prices for "real" barcode printers, and knowing how hard it is to get a barcode reader to accept the barcodes a DMP produces, I would skip the DMP project.

I agree. The ribbon had to be fresh, the font size had to be large enough - we did it simply because there wasn't much of it to justify buying a specialized printer (remember where and when was that). We used it only for a few dozen items, two pages at most, which didn't have barcodes (bread, vegetables, meat).
