I am 'sort of' able to print PDF417 barcode to a regular PCL printer.  It
involves using Infoprint's Spool-to-PDF capabilities to generate a PDF
spool file.  Then I use Infoprint's Transform manager to convert this PDF
to an AFPDS spool file (using Infoprint's respool function).  Then I
release that AFPDS spool file to the printer.

Somewhere along the way the PDF417 barcode is converted to a bitmapped
image.  That makes Host Print Transform's lack of support for these
barcodes irrelevant.

My only remaining issue is that the final image is usually rotated from the
original.  I believe it has to do with PDF spool file being created using
QSYSPRT's attributes, rather than the original spool file's attributes.  My
next step will be to create an exit program that can hopefully override
QSYSPRT for the Infoprint printer job.  I have my doubts, but who knows, I
may get lucky.
