11 foo2ddst-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
12
14 foo2ddst-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
15 foo2ddst printer driver. This script reads a Postscript ps-file or
16 standard input and converts it to DDST printer format for driving the
17 Ricoh Aficio SP 112, the Ricoh Aficio SP 201, and other DDST-based
18 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.

84 Printer Tweaking Options
86 These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2ddst for a
87 particular printer.
88 -u xoffxyoff
90 Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the up‐
91 per left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The de‐
92 faults should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been
93 tested on any other printers.
94 -l xoffxyoff
96 Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
97 right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults
98 should work on the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested
99 on any other printers.
100 -L mask
102 Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the ZjStream.
103 foo2ddst-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page di‐
104 mensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regardless
105 whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This option
106 is used to move the position of the clipped image back to where
107 it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount which
108 was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most cases.
109 0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
111 1 only send Y clipping amount
112 2 only send X clipping amount
113 3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
114 Debugging Options
116 These options are used for debugging foo2ddst and its wrapper.
117 -D level
119 Set Debug level [0].

123 Create a monochrome ZjStream from a Postscript document, examine it,
124 and then print it using a RAW print queue:
125 foo2ddst-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.ddst
127 ddstdecode < testpage.ddst
128 lpr -P raw testpage.ddst
