I wrote a program that reads a downloaded barcode font file (barcode39) into a Laserjet4 NPCONFIG'd to my MPE box. I think the program worked because the printer light blinks a few times when I run the program, but I still can't get the bar codes to print. The documentation I have say to use the (21001 is the font ID number) following escape seq <ESC>(21001X*thedata*<ESC>(3@

Yes, the <ESC> is actually an octal %33.

This doesn't work, does anyone know how to verify that the barcode font is actually loaded into the printers RAM? 
<<Printing a font list only shows internal fonts>>

Is there a better method to printing barcodes from MPE to an HP Laserjet, without the cartridge?

Thanks in Advance,
Michael Anderson.
