Skip this if you don't have the exact same version of Ghostscript that I have, Fedora ghostscript 8.71-16.fc14, because it will not pass since different versions of Ghostscript generate different raster images: # make test Create printers (Fedora 6/7/.../25 and Ubuntu 7.10/8.x/.../16.x): # system-config-printer Create printers (Redhat 7.2/7.3/8.0/9.0, Fedora Core 1-5): # printconf-gui Create printers (Mandrake/Manrivia) # printerdrake Create printers (openSUSE 10.x/11.x) # yast2 printer Create printers (Ubuntu 5.10/6.06/6.10/7.04) $ sudo gnome-cups-manager $ sudo make cups # Ubuntu has a bug in gnome-cups-manager NOTE: to edit a queue hit "Properties" (click right mouse button). Create printers (Debian) Connect with a web browser to: http://localhost:631 And configure printer (HP example shown) to: HP LaserJet 2600n, Foomatic + foo2zjs (en) Then edit "Manage Printers->Configure Printer" to suit you, such as "Page Size" or "Color Mode".

Create the queues, then edit them and set the "device options" as desired. For a networked Minolta/QMS 2300 DL, I used a "Queue Type" of "Unix Printer (LPD)", and set the "Server" to the IP address of the printer, and the "Queue" to "lp". For a networked HP Color Laserjet 2600n, I used a "Queue Type" of "Networked JetDirect", and set the "Printer" to the IP address of the printer, and the "Port" to "9100". GHOSTSCRIPT BUGS ---------------- * ghostscript 8.64 is broken w.r.t. color. Don't use! * ghostscript 9.00 is broken w.r.t. fonts in landscape mode. * ghostscript 9.+ is broken w.r.t. color. Don't use * Well Tempered Screening (WTS) works with ghostscript 8.54 thru 8.70+. So if you want BEST COLORS, you'll have to install gs 8.54 or better if you don't have it. OPTIONAL: # yum install cups-devel -OR- $ sudo apt-get install cups-dev $ gs --version 8.15.2 $ wget "http://ghostscript.com/releases/ghostscript-8.71.tar.gz" $ tar zxf ghostscript-8.71.tar.gz $ cd ghostscript-8.71 $ ./autogen.sh $ make $ su OR $ sudo cp bin/gs /usr/bin/gs.foo # cp bin/gs /usr/bin/gs.foo (Optional) # make install OR $ sudo make install $ gs.foo --version 8.71 If that doesn't compile (e.g. Ubuntu 11.10+), try this: $ cd ghostscript-8.71 $ ./configure --without-jbig2dec $ make CFLAGS+="-DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H=1" If that doesn't compile (e.g. Fedora 26), try this: $ cd ghostscript-8.71 $ ./configure --without-jbig2dec --with-system-libtiff $ make CFLAGS+="-DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H=1" * Halftoning Bug: "The problems with WTS are primarily that it seems to fall down on the halftone generation for some angles when the lpi is high for the current resolution." - Ray Johnston So choose Standard, Accurate Screens, or reduce the resolution to 600x600. * Ghostscript before 8.55 has a problem with ICM files and 64-bit gcc. It causes a segfault with km2430_2.icm. So don't select that one.

There is NO GUI to do it!!! Sorry. MINOLTA-QMS 2200/2300 DL NOTES ------------------------------ Use the network interface if you can. These printers understand Unix LPD printer server protocol. So when setting up the printer queue, you can select "UNIX Printer (lpd queue)", set the lpd queue name to "lp" (arbitrary), and set the "Server" to the IP address of the printer. These printers also understand several other printer server protocols, such as JetDirect and IPP, but I have not tried them. In any case, I'm not aware of any advantages of using them over LPD. The USB interface on this printer will work if your printer is at firmware revision 2.55 or later. Mine was not, but I was able to get this firmware from the Konica Minolta Europe web site. The USA site doesn't have it. Upgrading the firmware on your printer can be dangerous and might turn your printer into a paperweight, so I do not recommend it unless you need USB and are a computer expert. To get the v2.55 firmware upgrade, try: ./getweb 2300dl_fw CUPS USB NOTES -------------- If you are using the USB port, then the URI should be: file:/dev/usb/lp0 OR usb:/dev/usb/lp0 file:/dev/usb/lp1 OR usb:/dev/usb/lp1 OR usb://Samsung/CLP-310%20Series usb://Samsung/CLP-310%20Series usb://HP/Color%20LaserJet%20CP1215 usb://HP/Color%20LaserJet%202600n usb://HP/LaserJet%201000 usb://HP/LaserJet%201005 usb://HP/LaserJet%201018 usb://HP/LaserJet%201020 usb://HP/LaserJet%20P1005 usb://HP/LaserJet%20P1006 usb://HP/LaserJet%20P1007 usb://HP/LaserJet%20P1008 usb://HP/LaserJet%20P1505 usb://HP/LaserJet%20Professional%20M12a usb://HP/LaserJet%20Professional%20M12w usb://HP/LaserJet%20Professional%20P1102 usb://HP/LaserJet%20Professional%20P1102w Don't use hp:// because that is for hplip (a closed source, proprietary driver). Do a "make cups" as root if you haven't done it before. HP LASERJET 1000/1005/1018/1020, P1005/P1006/P1007/P1008/P1505 NOTES -------------------------------------------------------------------- These printers need their firmware downloaded to them every time they are powered up. On Linux with USB connected printer: If you are running Linux and the printer is connected via USB, you can arrange for the firmware to be automatically downloaded to the printer by performing one more installation step: # make install-hotplug Power off then on the printer. Light should flash orange for ~5 seconds as the firmware is getting downloaded. On another OS or with a parallel port connected printer: You must send a firmware file to the printer each time you power it up. If you downloaded the extra files for the HP above, a typical command line to load the firmware would be ONE of these: # cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1000.dl > /dev/usb/lp0 # cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl > /dev/usb/lp0 # cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0 # cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0 # cat /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1005.dl > /dev/usb/lp0 # cat /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1006.dl > /dev/usb/lp0 # cat /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1505.dl > /dev/usb/lp0 Light should flash orange for ~5 seconds as the firmware is getting downloaded. On Mac OS X: You must send a firmware file to the printer each time you power it up. If you downloaded the extra files for the HP above, a typical command line to load the firmware would be: $ lp -oraw /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl $ lp -oraw /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl $ lp -oraw /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1005.dl $ lp -oraw /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1006.dl $ lp -oraw /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1505.dl -OR- Add a line to /etc/rc.local and reboot: killall osx-hplj-hotplug; \ osx-hplj-hotplug >/tmp/osx-hplj-hotplug 2>&1 & -OR- Issue a "make install-hotplug" command: $ sudo make install-hotplug Light should flash orange for ~5 seconds as the firmware is getting downloaded. Firmware Not Downloaded: # usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 GET_DEVICE_ID string: MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet 1020;CMD:ACL;CLS: PRINTER;\ DES:HP LaserJet 1020; Firmware Downloaded: # usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 GET_DEVICE_ID string: MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet 1020;CMD:ACL;CLS: PRINTER;\ DES:HP LaserJet 1020;FWVER:20050309; NOTE: The original HP files are named '*.img'. Sometimes HP supplies these files ready-to-download to the printer, sometimes they are raw ARM executables and need to have a special header added to them before they can be downloaded. The "make install" step will use the supplied "arm2hpdl" program to automatically detect which kind of file they are and convert them (if needed) to the downloadable '*.dl' format. These printers do not have a "button" when you run out of paper. But, there is a GNOME gui in: Applications -> System Tools -> HPLJ 10xx Replaced Paper It requires tcl, tk, and tix. Fedora 5 and later: # yum install tcl tk tix or, you can simulate this by reloading the paper and doing: $ usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 or, you can open the print cartridge door and then close it. HP SMART INSTALL NOTES ---------------------- The printers HP LaserJet Pro M12a, HP LaserJet Pro P1102, HP LaserJet Pro CP1025, and simliar models have a virtual CD-ROM (a fake USB CD drive) in USB mode. You can disable this three ways: Method 1: NOTE: this is a non-open-source method! - Connect the printer to a Windows PC and turn it on. The fake CD-ROM appears on Windows. - Insert the original Driver CD that ships with the printer - Run SIUtility.exe or SIUtility64.exe from the UTIL folder and COMPLETELY DISABLE THIS "HP SMART INSTALL" FEATURE. Method 2: - Install usb_modeswitch and usb_modeswitch-data from your distro's repository. I.E.: # yum install usb_modeswitch usb_modeswitch-data OR $ sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch-data OR Surf to: http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/ - Power cycle the printer. Method 3: NOTE: this is a non-open-source method! - Execute: $ wget http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/smartinstall/\ SmartInstallDisable-Tool.run $ sh SmartInstallDisable-Tool.run PSUTILS AND 2/4-UP CAPABILITY ----------------------------- If you would like to use the 2-up/4-up capability, then you need to get and install Angus Duggan's excellent psutils package. You can find the source code for psutils here: http://knackered.knackered.org/angus/psutils/index.html Or an RPM here: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=psutils CUSTOM PAGE SIZE ---------------- Append "PageSize=Custom.MMMxNNNin" to the lpr command. E.G. $ lpr -P hp2600 -o media=letter -o PageSize=Custom.4x6in ~/testpage.ps $ lpr -P hp2600 -o media=letter -o PageSize=Custom.10x15cm ~/testpage.ps $ lpr -P hp1020 -o media=letter -o PageSize=Custom.4x6in ~/testpage.ps Or, use a GUI that allows the custom size parameters, e.g. "evince" - PostScript and PDF File Viewer. LANDSCAPE ORIENTATION --------------------- This driver just prints Postscript and doesn't know what the orientation is (*). Other higher level programs format your data into Postscript, e.g CUPS. The CUPS -o landscape option will rotate the page 90 degrees to print in landscape orientation: $ lp -o landscape filename $ lpr -o landscape filename (*) except for N-up printing, because psnup (from psutils) requires it! SET DEFAULT MEDIA WITH CUPS --------------------------- $ sudo # lpoptions -o media=A4 -OR- # lpoptions -o media=Letter MANUAL DUPLEX ------------- See: https://sourceforge.net/projects/g-manual-duplex/ Install: $ make $ su # make install -OR- $ sudo make install [logout] [login] Then: Using the Gnome 2 or Gnome-3 Classic (fallback) GUI: 1a) System Tools -> Gnome Manual Duplex - OR - 1b) Add to Panel -> Gnome Manual Duplex applet -> Add 2) Print -> GnomeManualDuplex (Virtual Printer) -> Print Using the Gnome 3 Shell GUI: 1) $ gnome-session-properties Startup Programs -> GnomeManualDuplex -> Enable [logout][login] 2) Print -> GnomeManualDuplex (Virtual Printer) -> Print Works with *.ps and *.pdf files.

UNINSTALLING ------------ This will uninstall everything from your system. $ su # make uninstall BUG REPORTS ----------- PLEASE use the forums at: http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/forum/index.php I do not read or reply to HTML email or messages sent under an alias. I failed out of french class, so don't even think about sending me email in anything but English. Rick Richardson DEVELOPER AND DEBUGGING TIPS ---------------------------- If you want to work on this program, I recommend creating a "raw" printer queue directed at the printer, with no protocol conversions. OR, simple copy the file to /dev/usb/lp0 (USB) or nc (netcat) the file (network). Then, you can use the "foo2zjs-wrapper" program to convert Postscript test programs to ZjS format, and inspect them with "zjsdecode" before deciding whether to print them or not. For example: foo2zjs-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm foo2zjs-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc zjsdecode < testpage.zm zjsdecode < testpage.zc lpr -Praw testpage.zm OR cp testpage.zm /dev/usb/lp0 OR nc 192.168.1.NNN 9100 < testpage.zm Same thing for the other drivers, e.g. ... foo2hiperc-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.hc hipercdecode < testpage.hc nc 192.168.1.NNN 9100 < testpage.hc If the printer is an HP LaserJet 10xx or P1xxx and needs to have the firmware downloaded, this will tell you (P1006): Before: usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet P1006;CMD:ACL;CLS:PRINTER;\ DES:HP LaserJet P1006; After: usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0 MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet P1006;CMD:ACL;CLS:PRINTER;\ DES:HP LaserJet P1006;FWVER:20080415; CUSTOM ICC/ICM COLOR PRINTER PROFILE (BUY) ------------------------------------------ I need: Dell 1355 or Xerox 6015 default resolution Samsung CLP-315 default resolution Samsung CLP-325 default resolution Samsung CLP-360 or 365 default resolution Samsung CLP-600 default resolution Samsung CLP-610 default resolution Samsung CLP-620 default resolution HP Color LaserJet 1500 default resolution HP Color LaserJet CP1215 default resolution, 1-bit and 2-bit HP Color LaserJet 2600n 2-bit, default resolution NOTE: This works only if you have ghostscript 8.x.
