I have done this with an LJ5p and an LJ2200.

I had to buy a bar-code font to download into the printer, I got mine from
Elfring Fonts, http://www.elfring.com

I loaded the font onto the HP as a bytestream file, and specify it as the
environment file when I print forms requiring barcodes so that the font
file is downloaded into the printer.

You will need to download the font to the printer and generate a font list
to find out the correct IDs to use for the font selection escape sequences.
It helps to have PCL5 manual to figure all this out.
