Long ago I did that, to be stuck on crates in a cold storage so the forklift driver could read them. I went straight to the printer driver (esc/p at the time) and stored an image of each character in a memo, then just added the positioning codes and dumped the whole composite image to the printer. That was in 1990 or so, and no I don't have the code anymore. Basically, I took whatever imaging software I had then, and printed one single character (I think only digits were needed) into a file, then analyzed the file, took out the image itself and saved that part into a memo. Then wrapped that up in positioning escape sequence, then wrapped that all in reset printer + images + eject page code. Took a few hours to do.
