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.

textps
TEXTPS(8) System Manager's Manual TEXTPS(8)
NAME
textps - text to PostScript filter
nscript - text to PostScript converter
SYNOPSIS
textps [ -T[option[,option]*]* ] [ lpr filter options ] [ filename... ]
options: [ c=n ] [ l=n ] [ m=n ] [ t=n ] [ v=n ]
nscript [ -G ] [ -r ] [ -2 ] [ -t width ] [ -pfile ] [ -Pprinter ] [ filename... ]
DESCRIPTION
textps is a simple text to PostScript filter. When invoked as nscript it (weakly) simulates the Adobe Systems Incorporated enscript pro-
gram, converting text to PostScript and adding headers. textps is usually invoked automatically by a print spooler while nscript is usu-
ally invoked by a user. Input files can use ISO Latin-1. Two or more identical overstruck characters are rendered using a bold font.
Tabs are assumed to be set every 8 character positions. textps is designed to produce good output with lpr -p or pr | lpr; if you print
unpaginated text, you will need to increase the t option value and decrease the v or l option value.
TEXTPS OPTIONS
c=n Use n characters to the inch.
l=n Use n lines per page.
m=n Use a left margin of n points.
t=n Position the baseline of the first line of text n points below the top of the page.
v=n Use a vertical spacing of n points.
The default behaviour is -Tc=12,l=66,m=18,t=8,v=12.
NSCRIPT OPTIONS
By default, nscript will send the formatted output to lpr; the -P option can select the printer.
-G Gaudy output - a header and labels for the input files are placed on the output page.
-r rotated (landscape) output.
-twidth
Set tab stop to width characters.
-2 two column output.
-pfile send output to file.
-Pprinter
spool output to printer using lpr.
Note: the combination nscript -2Gr is useful for viewing listings.
