I generate the barcode - yes 12345 | head -84 | barcode -p 5x5.0cm -umm -e CODE39 > test.ps;First of all, try viewing 'test.ps' using ghostview or some other postscript viewer. As the saying goes: "Garbage In, Garbage Out". If the postscript file isn't right, then you'll end up printing "correct" garbage.and print - lpr -o media=letter -#1 -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps -o page-top=33 -o page-bottom=44 -o page-left=60 -o page-right=80Perhaps a matter of preference here, but personally I'd endeavour to get the margins, page size etc correct in the post script and then just pass a whole page to the printer. In that case, use the '-g' option to barcode to size and position the barcode, then use '-p letter' to place the barcode on a full sheet. You could then just say "lpr -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps".The barcode is upside down not centered at the very top and truncated and multiple copies are printed. TIA Ethan

I've tried the following and they all give the barcode on the bottom of the page -
lpr -o media=Custom.5x5cm -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps
root@meow:/var/www# lpr -o media=leter -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps
root@meow:/var/www# lpr -o media=leter -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps
root@meow:/var/www# lpr -o media=leter -o position=top -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps
root@meow:/var/www# lpr -o media=leter -o position=bottom -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps
root@meow:/var/www# lpr -o media=leter -o position=bottom -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps
root@meow:/var/www# lpr -o media=Custom.5x5cm -o position=bottom -P LJ1012 /var/www/test.ps
I might have an error in my ps file. Here it is....
