You can print barcodes on an IPDS capable printer
if you create a printer file that uses the BARCODE
DDS keyword.  When you create the PRTF, specify
DEVTYPE(*IPDS)

Be aware that you may be able to easily print postnet
barcodes, but you'll need to sort that mail properly:
not an easy task.  Call your local USPS business office
if you haven't already.  There are commercial packages
(Group One comes to mind) that handle sorting mail properly.
