Yes, I've done similar things (not from a web page, though). I've
always used a bar code printer. I've found standard printers do not do
as well with barcodes, and the result isn't as readable by most barcode
readers.
But if you have to use a non-barcode printer, you'll probably be better
off using C or C++ for the printing. Depending on which barcode you
decide to use, you may be able to find a library to help you.
