rr_n {.nr rr_n 0 1 foo2xqx-wrapper - Convert Postscript
into a XQX printer stream
foo2xqx-wrapper [
options]
[
ps-file]
foo2xqx-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer
wrapper for the
foo2xqx printer driver. This script reads a Postscript
ps-file or standard input and converts it to XQX printer format for
driving the HP LaserJet P1005/P1006/P1007/P1008, the HP LaserJet P1505, the HP
LaserJet P2014, the HP LaserJet M1005 MFP, the HP LaserJet M1120 MFP, and
other XQX-based 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.
These are the options used to select the parameters of a print job that are
usually controlled on a per job basis.

These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2xqx 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
ZjStream. foo2xqx-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 |
These options are used for debugging foo2xqx and its wrapper.
- -D level
- Set Debug level [0].
Create a monochrome ZjStream from a Postscript document, examine it, and
then print it using a RAW print queue:
foo2xqx-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.xqx
xqxdecode < testpage.xqx
lpr -P raw testpage.xqx
/usr/bin/foo2xqx-wrapper foo2xqx(1),
xqxdecode(1) Rick
