Hello Group: I am in the planning stages of an application that will be accessed over the web, and one of the ideas is to print a barcode that is generated when the user creates a record. The application is to track paperwork/items and uses barcodes to easily identify which paper/item belongs to which record.
Is there an easy way to generate barcodes using Python -- considering the application will be printing to a printer at the client's machine? I thought of two ways this could be done; one would be to interface with the printing options of the browser to ensure that margins, headers, footers are setup properly (I have done this before using activex and IE, but with mixed results); the other would be to install some small application at the client machine that would intercept the print jobs and format them properly (taking the printing function away from the browser). Does anyone have any experience or advice? Any links I could read up on to help me find out how to program this? Another way (easier hopefully) to accomplish this? Thanks for any advice. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
