I tried several free fonts but all failed. Then by searching I reached at IDAutomation site which has barcode related products and fonts. I found this ActiveX there, by using it I managed to print the barcode not as text but as image by putting it in General field and then setting some properties of it. All the tests have been done and we are almost ready to purchase this component. But I will appreciate if you can answer:

I have downloaded the article, fonts and sample project. But the problem still persists. One thing I forgot to mention before that I have set Non-Unicode language as Arabic since our application is Bilingual. Using English instead of Arabic, barcode prints with out any problem from the same printer.
