And every printer model requires a different set of codes.  It's no fun when
your trusty HP finally breaks down in the middle of the shift and you can't
print your bills on the IBM printer right next to it.  Of course, that's
getting better now that everybody supports PCL.  Everybody does, right?
<grin>

That said, Phil Hall has a section on his web page for dealing with bar
codes and overlays that might help if one wants to deal with raw printer
datastreams: http://www.execpc.com/~pbhall/, Programming.
