NAME

       foo2xqx-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a XQX printer stream

SYNOPSIS

       foo2xqx-wrapper [options] [ps-file]

DESCRIPTION

       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, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf 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.

       -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -8 -9 -10 -12 -14 -15 -16 -18
              Print in N-up.  Requires the psutils package.

   Printer Tweaking Options
       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

   Debugging Options
       These options are used for debugging foo2xqx and its wrapper.

       -D level
              Set Debug level [0].

EXAMPLES

       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
