NAME
foo2qpdl-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a QPDL printer stream
SYNOPSIS
foo2qpdl-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
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, CLP-620, CLP-360,
CLP-365, 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.

-n copies
Number of copies [1].
-r xresxyres
Set device resolution in pixels/inch [1200x600].
-s source
Source (Input Slot) code to send to printer [255].

-t Draft mode. Every other pixel is white.
-2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -8 -9 -10 -12 -14 -15 -16 -18
Print in N-up. Requires the psutils package.
-o orient
Orientation used for N-up.
Portrait -op (normal)
Landscape -ol (rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise)
Seascape -os (rotated 90 degrees clockwise)
Printer Tweaking Options
These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2qpdl 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].
-l xoffxyoff
Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [varies
with paper size].
-L 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.
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
Printer model. Model 0 is the default.
model Description
0 CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160
1 CLP-600
2 CLP-310, CLP-315, CLP-610, CLX-3175
3 CLP-620, CLP-360, CLP-365
Color Tweaking Options
These are the options used to control the quality of color output. Color correction is currently a WORK
IN PROGRESS.
-a parm=val
Color Adjust. parm is b, c, s, cr, mg, yb for brightness, contrast, saturation, cyan-red balance,
magenta-green balance, and yellow-blue balance. val is 0 to 100. Multiple options are allowed.
The default is "-ab=50 -ac=50 -as=50 -acr=50 -amg=50 -ayb=50". This only works when the -z3 (e.g.
CLP-365) model is set!
-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 foo2qpdl 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.
1 Cyan
2 Magenta
3 Yellow
4 Black
-D level
Set Debug level [0].
EXAMPLES
Create a monochrome QPDL stream from a Postscript document, examine it, and then print it using a RAW
print queue:
foo2qpdl-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
qpdldecode < testpage.zm
lpr -P raw testpage.zm
Create a color QPDL stream from a Postscript document:
foo2qpdl-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
