You mean CREATING an image ? or printing a generated image ?

This can be done with CSS.. you could assign the header / footer etc with
MEDIA=SCREEN and barcode with media=screen,print

If you need to dynamically hide different regions of screen during print

window.onbeforeprint() & window.onafterprint() events will
help.. this works great in IE .. not sure about the compatibility

in window.onbeforeprint() , hide the elements you dont want to print and
window.onafterprint() display them again..

The screen doesnt doesnt get hidden-shown/blinks for the users eyes..
but this prevents from printing the elements you hide
