The best HTML renderers are arguably web browsers. Find out how to render and print an HTML page on your operating system if you insist on using the HTML representation of a barcode. Most likely, both, Internet Explorer and Firefox can be started from the command line to automatically print an HTML file without further interaction.	[reply]

so there is no perl module that can create a barcode as plaintext? Barcodes are not plaintext why it is not possible to print a html::barcode barcode to a regular printer? Not printing backgrounds is an ink saving feature of browsers , learn to work yours ;)	[reply]

`Barcodes are not plaintext` but they can be. i´m sure that i can send a plaintext as a chain of command to the printer. and the printer makes out of it a barcode. but i´m not sure how this commandline should look like. 4sure => haven´t thought about the background ink saving feature. sounds good to me ;-) probably i´m able to disable it :-D $perlig =~ s/pec/cep/g if 'errors expected';	[reply] [d/l]
