I have an Excel spreadsheet, you just enter an address, it computes the
barcode and print the spreadsheet on a #10 envelope.  I have a USPS bar code
font that it needs, too. 

I use this font to print mailing labels for bulk mailing.  I designed the
font based on Postal standards (20-24 bars per inch, specified heights/widths, 
etc).  It works very nicely and gets my mail dropped right into the bar
code sorter, skipping the OCR steps.

If you want the font and spreadsheet, let me know.
