You can't send a pdf file to the printer using lpr, unless the destination print driver has the ability to convert pdf to a print stream suitable for the printer.
If your printer supports postscript, you can pipe the pdf file through pdf2ps to convert the pdf file. The bar code will still print.

cupsfilter(8)							    Apple Inc.							     cupsfilter(8)

NAME

       cupsfilter - convert a file to another format using cups filters

SYNOPSIS

       cupsfilter  [ -D ] [ -U user ] [ -c config-file ] [ -d printer ] [ -e ] [ -i mime/type ] [ -j job-id[,N] ] [ -m mime/type ] [ -n copies ] [
       -o name=value ] [ -p filename.ppd ] [ -t title ] [ -u ] filename

DESCRIPTION

       cupsfilter is a front-end to the CUPS filter subsystem which allows you to convert a file to a specific format, just as if you had  printed
       the file through CUPS. By default, cupsfilter generates a PDF file.

OPTIONS

       -D
	    Delete the input file after conversion.

       -U user
	    Specifies the username passed to the filters. The default is the name of the current user.

       -c config-file
	    Uses the named cupsd.conf configuration file.

       -d printer
	    Uses information from the named printer.

       -e
	    Use every filter from the PPD file.

       -i mime/type
	    Specifies the source file type. The default file type is guessed using the filename and contents of the file.

       -j job-id[,N]
	    Converts document N from the specified job. If N is omitted, document 1 is converted.

       -m mime/type
	    Specifies  the  destination  file  type.  The  default file type is application/pdf.  Use printer/foo to convert to the printer format
	    defined by the filters in the PPD file.

       -n copies
	    Specifies the number of copies to generate.

       -o name=value
	    Specifies options to pass to the CUPS filters.

       -p filename.ppd
	    Specifies the PPD file to use.

       -t title
	    Specifies the document title.

       -u
	    Delete the PPD file after conversion.
