The equipment that I've got is as follows:
     HP-41CX   calculator
     HP 82242A infrared printer module
     HP 82153A barcode wand
     HP 82240A printer w/infrared interface

     RUSH SYSTEMS HOOKUP infrared interface

     IBM-PC compatable computer
     Epson FX-85 dot matrix printer

   Access to assorted laserjets and other printers.

The problem I've got is this, using the HOOKUP interface, I can get 
the HP-41 programs into the computer, but what I want to do is generate
program barcode on my Epson printer.  I won't be doing it very often,
so if necessary, I can do the printing on a laserjet (I think I can even
get to a postscript printer if I need to).


HP barcode is different than any of the industry standards (UPC,3/9,etc.),
and the wand will not read anything but HP code.  

If anyone out there has something that they think will do the job, or
any ideas on where they think I might find something, contact me at:

           monty@cs.utk.edu

Thanks in advance,



       Stu
