No barcode printing with WinBond/Zjiang 5890

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m having trouble with getting barcode printing to work: only the code gets printed, not the bars. My printer is this one: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-New-mini-58mm-thermal-receipt-printer-ticket-pos-58-thermal-printer-USB-black-white/856027185.html It is identified as ATTRS{idVendor}=="0416", ATTRS{idProduct}=="aabb" and text/image printing work. Where should I look for the problem? I can see two ways around it: find and fix the issue where barcode is handled, or work around it by rendering the barcode to an image and printing that. I think the first one is simpler, would you agree?

Please read the comment in detail: I’m pointing out that the generated barcode is un-usable!

In any case, edited the comment above, I forgot to include the call to image() that actually does the printing.

Thank you for the feedback. So the actual issue seems to be non-fixable. See #218 for a follow-up.
