1. NAME▲

foo2qpdl-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a QPDL printer stream

2. SYNOPSIS ▲

foo2qpdl-wrapper [ options "] [" ps-file ]

3. DESCRIPTION ▲

foo2qpdl-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the foo2qpdl printer driver. This script reads a Postscript ps-file or standard input and converts it to Samsung/Xerox QPDL printer format for driving the Samsung CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160, CLP-315, CLX-3175, CLP-600, CLP-610, and Xerox Phaser 6110 QPDL printers.

This script can be used in a standalone fashion, but is intended to be called from a printer spooler system which uses the Foomatic printer database.

4. COMMAND LINE OPTIONS ▲

4.1. Normal Options ▲

These are the options used to select the parameters of a print job that are usually controlled on a per job basis.

  • -c
        Print in color (else monochrome).
  • -C\0 colormode
        Color correction mode [0].
  • -d\0 duplex
        Duplex code to send to printer [1].

        Paper size code to send to printer [0].
  • -n\0 copies
        Number of copies [1].
  • -r\0 xres x yres
        Set device resolution in pixels/inch [1200x600].
  • -s\0 source
        Source (Input Slot) code to send to printer [255].

4.2. Printer Tweaking Options ▲

These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2qpdl for a particular printer.

  • -u\0 xoff x yoff
        Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].
  • -l\0 xoff x yoff
        Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].
  • -L\0 mask
        Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the QPDL stream. foo2qpdl-wrapper always runs Ghostscript with the ideal page dimensions, so that the scale of the image is correct, regardless whether or not the printer has unprintable regions. This option is used to move the position of the clipped image back to where it belongs on the page. The default is to send the amount which was clipped by -u and -l, and should be good in most cases.
  • -z\0 model
        Printer model. Model 0 is the default.
0 don't send any logical clipping amounts
1 only send Y clipping amount
2 only send X clipping amount
3 send both X and Y clipping amounts
model Description
0 CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160
1 CLP-600
2 CLP-310, CLP-315, CLP-610, CLX-3175

4.3. Color Tweaking Options ▲

These are the options used to control the quality of color output. Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.

  • -g\0 gsopts
        Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as -g« -dDITHERPPI=nnn », etc. This option may appear more than once.
  • -G\0 profile.icm
        Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary (CRD) using foo2zjs-icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using the Postscript setcolorrendering operator. (WORK IN PROGRESS).
  • -G\0 gamma-file.ps
        Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator. For example, the file might contain:
    {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
  • -I\0 intent
        Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).

4.4. Debugging Options ▲

These options are used for debugging foo2qpdl and its wrapper.

  • -S\0 plane
        Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it on the black plane. The default is to output all color planes.
  • -D\0 level
        Set Debug level [0].
1 Cyan
2 Magenta
3 Yellow
4 Black

5. EXAMPLES ▲

Create a monochrome QPDL stream from a Postscript document, examine it, and then print it using a RAW print queue:

 
Sélectionnez
foo2qpdl-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
qpdldecode < testpage.zm
lpr -P raw testpage.zm

Create a color QPDL stream from a Postscript document:

 
Sélectionnez
foo2qpdl-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
