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 up‐
108 per 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 di‐
117 mensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regardless
118 whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This option
119 is used to move the position of the clipped image back to where
120 it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount which
121 was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most cases.
122 0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
124 1 only send Y clipping amount
125 2 only send X clipping amount
126 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
127 -z model
129 Printer model. Model 0 is the default.
130 model Description
132 0 CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160
134 1 CLP-600
135 2 CLP-310, CLP-315, CLP-610, CLX-3175
136 3 CLP-620, CLP-360, CLP-365
137 Color Tweaking Options
139 These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
140 Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
141 -a parm=val
143 Color Adjust. parm is b, c, s, cr, mg, yb for brightness, con‐
144 trast, saturation, cyan-red balance, magenta-green balance, and
145 yellow-blue balance. val is 0 to 100. Multiple options are al‐
146 lowed. The default is "-ab=50 -ac=50 -as=50 -acr=50 -amg=50
147 -ayb=50". This only works when the -z3 (e.g. CLP-365) model is
148 set!
149 -g gsopts
151 Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
152 -g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
153 once.
154 -G profile.icm
156 Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary
157 (CRD) using icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using the
158 Postscript setcolorrendering operator. (WORK IN PROGRESS).
159 -G gamma-file.ps
161 Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color
162 correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator. For
163 example, the file might contain:
164 {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
165 -I intent
167 Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Col‐
168 orimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
169 Debugging Options
171 These options are used for debugging foo2qpdl and its wrapper.
172 -S plane
174 Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
175 on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
176 1 Cyan
178 2 Magenta
179 3 Yellow
180 4 Black
181 -D level
183 Set Debug level [0].
184
187 Create a monochrome QPDL stream from a Postscript document, examine it,
188 and then print it using a RAW print queue:
189 foo2qpdl-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
191 qpdldecode < testpage.zm
192 lpr -P raw testpage.zm
193 Create a color QPDL stream from a Postscript document:
195 foo2qpdl-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
197
200 /usr/bin/foo2qpdl-wrapper
201
203 foo2qpdl(1), qpdldecode(1)
