Question:
If you are going to be printing to an HP JetDirect box, wouldn't that bypass NT and just use the lpd of the JetDirect box?
It is possible to setup lpd printing on a NT Box, IIRC. It's been a long time since I have had to do that.
As for barcodes. If your Unix box supports TrueType fonts you can download/purchase various barcode fonts. I have had great success using TTFonts for barcodes in the past.
With a google search you should be able to find various free fonts for simple stuff like Code39.

dh_installxfonts
DH_INSTALLXFONTS(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLXFONTS(1)
NAME
dh_installxfonts - register X fonts
SYNOPSIS
dh_installxfonts [debhelperoptions]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installxfonts is a debhelper program that is responsible for registering X fonts, so their corresponding fonts.dir, fonts.alias, and
fonts.scale be rebuilt properly at install time.
Before calling this program, you should have installed any X fonts provided by your package into the appropriate location in the package
build directory, and if you have fonts.alias or fonts.scale files, you should install them into the correct location under etc/X11/fonts in
your package build directory.
Your package should depend on xfonts-utils so that the update-fonts-* commands are available. (This program adds that dependency to
${misc:Depends}.)
This program automatically generates the postinst and postrm commands needed to register X fonts. These commands are inserted into the
maintainer scripts by dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how this works.
NOTES
See update-fonts-alias(8), update-fonts-scale(8), and update-fonts-dir(8) for more information about X font installation.
See Debian policy, section 11.8.5. for details about doing fonts the Debian way.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
