If your printer supports postscript, you can pipe the pdf file through pdf2ps to convert the pdf file. The bar code will still print.
jgt, i sent to the printer the postscript file, but the format is the same like the pdf and it's hasn't the barcode.

The margins in postscript and pdf paper printer are to different with the windows paper printer.



Thanks a lot.

I have solved the problem with this command:

Code:
lp -d "printername"-o fitplot -o pdf-page=A4 "archive PDF"



Thanks a lot!

cupsfilter

cupsfilter(8)							    Apple Inc.							     cupsfilter(8)

NAME

       cupsfilter - convert a file to another format using cups filters

SYNOPSIS

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

       -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.

       -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.

KNOWN ISSUES

       cupsfilter currently does not use the filters defined in the PPD file.  This will be addressed in a future CUPS release.
