What is a wasp barcode control? An ActiveX control? Is this a particular
barcode font?

The report designer is in the works, but doesn't work yet beyond a
simple prototype. But you *will* be able to do what you want. If you
have a barcode font it will be slam-dunk (actually, there may be
problems - I seem to remember only a small number of fonts being
supported in reportlab). Output is PDF, which you can print and/or save
to disk.
