I have done (c) above, but it was with a standard laser printer (I assume the one you mentioned is a bar code label printer of some sort). We used a bar code font and just output the data into a text field that was formated in that font.

The only 'gotcha' I can give you is make sure that you append the start and stop characters to your data (it was '*' in our font, but it probably varies).
