NAME¶
foo2lava-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a LAVAFLOW or OPL printer stream
SYNOPSIS¶
foo2lava-wrapper [
options] [
ps-file]
DESCRIPTION¶
foo2lava-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the
foo2lava printer driver. This script reads a Postscript
ps-file
or standard input and converts it to Zenographics LAVAFLOW printer format for
driving the Konica Minolta magicolor 1600W color laser printer, the Konica
Minolta magicolor 1680MF/1690MF AIO printer, the Konica Minolta magicolor
2480/2490 MF AIO printer, the Konica Minolta magicolor 2530 DL network color
laser printer, and other Zenographics-based LAVAFLOW 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.

Printer Tweaking Options¶
These are the options used to customize the operation of
foo2lava for a
particular printer.
- -u xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left
corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults should work on
the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on any other
printers.
- -l xoffxyoff
- Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right
corner, in pixels [varies with paper size]. The defaults should work on
the 2200DL and 2300DL, and have not been tested on any other
printers.
- -L mask
- Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the LAVAFLOW stream.
foo2lava-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.
| 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 |
- -z model
- Model. The default is [0].

Color Tweaking Options¶
These are the options used to control the quality of color output. Color
correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
- -g gsopts
- Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
-g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
once.
- -G 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 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 intent
- Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric,
2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
Debugging Options¶
These options are used for debugging
foo2lava and its wrapper.
- -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 monochrome LAVAFLOW stream from a Postscript document, examine it, and
then print it using a RAW print queue:
foo2lava-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
lavadecode < testpage.zm
lpr -P raw testpage.zm
Create a color LAVAFLOW stream from a Postscript document:
foo2lava-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
