99 Printer Tweaking Options
101 These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2hp for a
102 particular printer.
103 -u xoffxyoff
105 Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the up‐
106 per left corner, in pixels [0x0].
107 -l xoffxyoff
109 Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
110 right corner, in pixels [0x0].
111 -L mask
113 Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the ZjStream
114 [3].
115 0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
117 1 only send Y clipping amount
118 2 only send X clipping amount
119 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
120 -O c,m,y,k
122 Alignment of CMYK in rows. The default is 0,0,0,0.
123 -P Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output. May be
125 needed by some black and white only printers, such as the HP
126 LaserJet 1000.
127 -A AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1. Works with bitcmyk
129 input only.
130 -B BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0. Works with bitcmyk input
132 only.
133 -X padlen
135 Add extra zero padding to the end of BID segments. The default
136 is 16 bytes.
137 Debugging Options
139 These options are used for debugging foo2hp.
140 -S plane
142 Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
143 on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
144 1 Cyan
146 2 Magenta
147 3 Yellow
148 4 Black
149 -D level
151 Set Debug level [0].

159 -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
