8 foo2hp2600-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a ZJS printer stream
9
11 foo2hp2600-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
12
14 foo2hp2600-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
15 foo2hp printer driver. This script reads a Postscript ps-file or stan‐
16 dard input and converts it to Zenographics ZjStream printer format for
17 driving the Hewlett-Packard 2600n color laser printer and other Zeno‐
18 graphics-based printers.
19 This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be
21 called from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic printer
22 database.

100 Printer Tweaking Options
102 These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2hp for a
103 particular printer.
104 -u xoffxyoff
106 Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the
107 upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The
108 defaults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been
109 tested on any other printers.
110 -l xoffxyoff
112 Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
113 right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
114 should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested
115 on any other printers.
116 -L mask
118 Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the ZjStream.
119 foo2hp2600-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page
120 dimensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regard‐
121 less whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This
122 option is used to move the position of the clipped image back to
123 where it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount
124 which was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most
125 cases.
126 0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
128 1 only send Y clipping amount
129 2 only send X clipping amount
130 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
131 -O parm=val
133 Alignment of CMYK. parm is c, m, y, or k. val is in rows.
134 Multiple options are allowed. The default is "-Oc=0 -Om=0 -Oy=0
135 -Ok=0".
136 -P Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output. May be
138 needed by some monochrome-only printers, such as the HP LaserJet
139 1000.
140 -X padlen
142 Add extra zero padding to the end of BID segments. The default
143 is 16 bytes. Padding 16 bytes of zeroes is needed for older
144 ZjStream printers, such as the Minolta 2200DL and HP LaserJet
145 1000, and seems harmless to newer ones, such as the Minolta
146 2300DL. So the default should be good for all cases.
147 -z model
149 Model: Model: 0=HP CLJ 1600/2600n; 1=HP CLJ CP1215
150 Color Tweaking Options
152 These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
153 Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
154 -g gsopts
156 Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
157 -g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
158 once.
159 -G profile.icm
161 Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary
162 (CRD) using icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using the
163 Postscript setcolorrendering operator. If profile.icm is
164 none.icm, then prepare for ordering a ICM custom printer profile
165 (i.e. from www.ICCFactory.com).
166 -G gamma-file.ps
168 Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color
169 correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator. For
170 example, the file might contain:
171 {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
172 -I intent
174 Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Col‐
175 orimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
176 Debugging Options
178 These options are used for debugging foo2hp and its wrapper.
179 -S plane
181 Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
182 on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
183 1 Cyan
185 2 Magenta
186 3 Yellow
187 4 Black
188 -D level
190 Set Debug level [0].
191
194 Create a monochrome ZjStream from a Postscript document, examine it,
195 and then print it using a RAW print queue:
196 foo2hp2600-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
198 zjsdecode < testpage.zm
199 lpr -P raw testpage.zm
200 Create a color ZjStream stream from a Postscript document:
202 foo2hp2600-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
204
207 /usr/bin/foo2hp2600-wrapper
208
210 foo2hp(1), zjsdecode(1)
