On the onset let me say these are all the sites and places that I have been trying to figure out this issue of printing out a barcode on the label for the Dymo 450 LabelWriter.
http://developers.dymo.com/2010/06/02/dymo-label-framework-javascript-library-samples-print-a-label/ DYMO label JavaScript printing framework http://developers.dymo.com/2010/03/24/understanding-label-file-formats-in-dymo-label-v-8-label-objects/ Printing in Java to Label Printer
The dymo site is a large mess to me. I can't get a straight answer to anything I am looking for. I have tried to piece together code from their label site and it works. I want to add barcode to the label.
Here is what I have tried:
PrintLabel.js
(function()
{
// called when the document completly loaded
function onload()
{
var textTextArea = document.getElementById('textTextArea');
var barCode = document.getElementById('barCode');
var printButton = document.getElementById('printButton');
// prints the label
printButton.onclick = function()
{
try
{
// open label
var labelXml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\

var label = dymo.label.framework.openLabelXml(labelXml);
// set label text
label.setObjectText("Text", textTextArea.value);
label.setObjectText("BARCODE", '721');
// select printer to print on
// for simplicity sake just use the first LabelWriter printer
var printers = dymo.label.framework.getPrinters();
if (printers.length == 0)
throw "No DYMO printers are installed. Install DYMO printers.";
var printerName = "";
for (var i = 0; i < printers.length; ++i)
{
var printer = printers[i];
if (printer.printerType == "LabelWriterPrinter")
{
printerName = printer.name;
break;
}
}
if (printerName == "")
throw "No LabelWriter printers found. Install LabelWriter printer";
// finally print the label
label.print(printerName);
}
catch(e)
{
alert(e.message || e);
}
}
};
// register onload event
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", onload, false);
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", onload);
else
window.onload = onload;
} ());

What I added from http://developers.dymo.com/2010/03/24/understanding-label-file-formats-in-dymo-label-v-8-label-objects/
site was the Barcode object. I thought I could drop it in and in would just work. But i have noticed that the TextObject code doesn't seem to do much either.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the final code that works now for the Print.js file.
(function()
{
// called when the document completly loaded
function onload()
{
var textTextArea = document.getElementById('textTextArea');

var printButton = document.getElementById('printButton');
// prints the label
printButton.onclick = function()
{
try
{
// open label
