- -n copies
- Number of copies [1].
- -r xresxyres
- Set device resolution in pixels/inch [600x600].
- -s source
- Source (InputSlot) code to send to printer [7].
- -t
- Draft mode. Every other pixel is white.
- -J filename
- Filename string to send to printer.
- -U username
- Username string to send to printer.
Printer Tweaking Options¶
These are the options used to customize the operation of
foo2hp for a
particular printer.
- -u xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left
corner, in pixels [0x0].
- -l xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right
corner, in pixels [0x0].
- -L mask
- Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the ZjStream [3].
| 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 |
- -O c,m,y,k
- Alignment of CMYK in rows. The default is 0,0,0,0.
- -P
- Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output. May be needed by some
black and white only printers, such as the HP LaserJet 1000.
- -A
- AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1. Works with bitcmyk input
only.
- -B
- BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0. Works with bitcmyk input only.
- -X padlen
- Add extra zero padding to the end of BID segments. The default is 16
bytes.
Debugging Options¶
These options are used for debugging
foo2hp.
- -S 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 level
- Set Debug level [0].
EXAMPLES¶
Create a black and white ZJS stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -r600x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hp -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm
Create a color ZJS stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -g5100x6600 -r600x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hp -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.zc
