8 foo2qpdl-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a QPDL printer stream
9
11 foo2qpdl-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
12
14 foo2qpdl-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
15 foo2qpdl printer driver. This script reads a Postscript ps-file or
16 standard input and converts it to Samsung/Xerox QPDL printer format for
17 driving the Samsung CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160, CLP-315, CLX-3175,
18 CLP-600, CLP-610, CLP-620, CLP-360, CLP-365, and Xerox Phaser 6110 QPDL
19 printers.
20 This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be
22 called from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic printer
23 database.

101 Printer Tweaking Options
103 These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2qpdl for a
104 particular printer.
105 -u xoffxyoff
107 Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the
108 upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].
109 -l xoffxyoff
111 Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
112 right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].
113 -L mask
115 Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the QPDL stream.
116 foo2qpdl-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page
117 dimensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regard‐
118 less whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This
119 option is used to move the position of the clipped image back to
120 where it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount
121 which was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most
122 cases.
123 0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
125 1 only send Y clipping amount
126 2 only send X clipping amount
127 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
128 -z model
130 Printer model. Model 0 is the default.
131 model Description
134 0 CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160
135 1 CLP-600
136 2 CLP-310, CLP-315, CLP-610, CLX-3175
137 3 CLP-620, CLP-360, CLP-365
138 Color Tweaking Options
140 These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
141 Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
142 -a parm=val
144 Color Adjust. parm is b, c, s, cr, mg, yb for brightness, con‐
145 trast, saturation, cyan-red balance, magenta-green balance, and
146 yellow-blue balance. val is 0 to 100. Multiple options are
147 allowed. The default is "-ab=50 -ac=50 -as=50 -acr=50 -amg=50
148 -ayb=50". This only works when the -z3 (e.g. CLP-365) model is
149 set!
150 -g gsopts
152 Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
153 -g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
154 once.
155 -G profile.icm
157 Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary
158 (CRD) using icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using the
159 Postscript setcolorrendering operator. (WORK IN PROGRESS).
160 -G gamma-file.ps
162 Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color
163 correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator. For
164 example, the file might contain:
165 {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
166 -I intent
168 Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Col‐
169 orimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
170 Debugging Options
172 These options are used for debugging foo2qpdl and its wrapper.
173 -S plane
175 Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
176 on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
177 1 Cyan
179 2 Magenta
180 3 Yellow
181 4 Black
182 -D level
184 Set Debug level [0].
185
188 Create a monochrome QPDL stream from a Postscript document, examine it,
189 and then print it using a RAW print queue:
190 foo2qpdl-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
192 qpdldecode < testpage.zm
193 lpr -P raw testpage.zm
194 Create a color QPDL stream from a Postscript document:
196 foo2qpdl-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
198
201 /usr/bin/foo2qpdl-wrapper
202
204 foo2qpdl(1), qpdldecode(1)
