Hmm, if the printer supports Postscript (PCL? Not sure), then you could draw stars or whatever you want. Then send this to the printer as AFPDS. I think Scott Klement has a little tool called PRTSTMF that takes a file-path and sends that raw data to a printer..

Subject: RE: Printing a "star" in a print file ...
Are you trying to print a graphic of a 5 pointed star?
Use free clip art
http://www.freeclipartnow.com/signs-symbols/stars/?g2_page=1
Find one you like, make page seg, position and scale to desired size.
OR
If you are looking for a character in a font, IBM has one.
The bad news is that it is not in the standard installed fonts in QFNTCPL, but only in the extended font packages.
Just look in your release's Infocenter and search for "purchase fonts"
If you are fortunate to have one or more of those, graphic character SS580000, which I found in code page T1000363 at hex 51 is a nice solid 5 pointed star.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/printer/info/afpdb/pdf/T1000363.PDF
or to search for yourself
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/printer/info/fontsearchtest/codepage.htm
You will still need the graphic itself in a character set.
If you can use outline fonts:
CZH201 *FNTRSC FNTCHRSET HELVETICA SYMBOLS-roman med
CZH401 *FNTRSC FNTCHRSET HELVETICA SYMBOLS-roman bold
CZN201 *FNTRSC FNTCHRSET TIMES NEW ROMAN SYMBOLS-roman med

CZ4201 *FNTRSC FNTCHRSET COURIER SYMBOLS-roman med
CZ4401 *FNTRSC FNTCHRSET COURIER SYMBOLS-roman bold
Or if you are stuck with raster fonts:
