11 foo2xqx-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
12
14 foo2xqx-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
15 foo2xqx printer driver. This script reads a Postscript ps-file or
16 standard input and converts it to XQX printer format for driving the HP
17 LaserJet P1005/P1006/P1007/P1008, the HP LaserJet P1505, the HP Laser‐
18 Jet P2014, the HP LaserJet M1005 MFP, the HP LaserJet M1120 MFP, the HP
19 LaserJet Pro M1132s MFP, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP, and other
20 XQX-based printers.
21 This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be
23 called from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic printer
24 database.

90 Printer Tweaking Options
92 These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2xqx for a
93 particular printer.
94 -u xoffxyoff
96 Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the up‐
97 per left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The de‐
98 faults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been
99 tested on any other printers.
100 -l xoffxyoff
102 Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
103 right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
104 should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested
105 on any other printers.
106 -L mask
108 Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the ZjStream.
109 foo2xqx-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page di‐
110 mensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regardless
111 whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This option
112 is used to move the position of the clipped image back to where
113 it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount which
114 was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most cases.
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 Debugging Options
122 These options are used for debugging foo2xqx and its wrapper.
123 -D level
125 Set Debug level [0].
126
129 Create a monochrome ZjStream from a Postscript document, examine it,
130 and then print it using a RAW print queue:
131 foo2xqx-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.xqx
133 xqxdecode < testpage.xqx
134 lpr -P raw testpage.xqx
135
138 /usr/bin/foo2xqx-wrapper
139
141 foo2xqx(1), xqxdecode(1)
