INSTALLATION

Unpack:

• $ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz $ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz $ cd foo2zjs

(Optional) Uninstall:

• $ su OR $ sudo make uninstall # make uninstall

Compile:

• $ make

Get extra files from the web, such as .ICM profiles (for color correction) and firmware. Select the model number for your printer:

• $ ./getweb 2600n # Get HP Color LaserJet 2600n .ICM files $ ./getweb 1600 # Get HP Color LaserJet 1600 .ICM files $ ./getweb 2530 # Get Konica Minolta magicolor 2530 DL .ICM files $ ./getweb 2490 # Get Konica Minolta magicolor 2490 MF .ICM files $ ./getweb 2480 # Get Konica Minolta magicolor 2480 MF .ICM files $ ./getweb 6115 # Get Xerox Phaser 6115MFP .ICM files $ ./getweb 2430 # Get Konica Minolta magicolor 2430 DL .ICM files $ ./getweb 2300 # Get Minolta/QMS magicolor 2300 DL .ICM files $ ./getweb 2200 # Get Minolta/QMS magicolor 2200 DL .ICM files $ ./getweb cpwl # Get Minolta Color PageWorks/Pro L .ICM files $ ./getweb 300 # Get Samsung CLP-300 .ICM files $ ./getweb 600 # Get Samsung CLP-600 .ICM files $ ./getweb 610 # Get Samsung CLP-610 .ICM files $ ./getweb 2160 # Get Samsung CLX-2160 .ICM files $ ./getweb 3160 # Get Samsung CLX-3160 .ICM files $ ./getweb 6110 # Get Xerox Phaser 6110 and 6110MFP .ICM files $ ./getweb 500 # Get Lexmark C500 .ICM files $ ./getweb 3200 # Get Okidata C3200 .ICM files $ ./getweb 3300 # Get Okidata C3300 .ICM files $ ./getweb 3400 # Get Okidata C3400 .ICM files $ ./getweb 5100 # Get Okidata C5100 .ICM files $ ./getweb 5200 # Get Okidata C5200 .ICM files $ ./getweb 5500 # Get Okidata C5500 .ICM files $ ./getweb 5600 # Get Okidata C5600 .ICM files $ ./getweb 5800 # Get Okidata C5800 .ICM files

Install driver, foomatic XML files, PPD files, and extra files:

• $ su OR $ sudo make install # make install

(Optional) Install hotplug (for HP LJ 1000/1005/1018/1020/P1005/P1006/P1505):

• $ su OR $ sudo make install-hotplug # make install-hotplug Unplug and re-plug the USB printer

If you use CUPS to manage your printers, you must restart cupsd:

• # make cups OR $ sudo make cups

Test operation of programs. Skip this if you don't have the exact same version of Ghostscript that I have, ghostscript 8.60 (2007-08-01), because it will not pass since different versions of Ghostscript generate different raster images:

• # make test

Create printers (Redhat 7.2/7.3/8.0/9.0, Fedora Core 1-5):

• # printconf-gui
  • Create at least one queue for monochrome, and another queue for color printing. 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".

For Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7/8 and Ubuntu 7.10 users:

• # system-config-printer

Create printers (Mandrake/Manrivia)

• # printerdrake

Create printers (Suse 10.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 printers (Solaris 11+)

• # printmgr

GHOSTSCRIPT BUGS

• Well Tempered Screening (WTS) works with ghostscript 8.54 thru 8.62+.
  • So if you want BEST COLORS, you'll have to install gs 8.54 or better if you don't have it.
    • $ gs --version 8.15.2

      $ wget "http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/GPL/gs862/ghostscript-8.62.tar.gz" $ tar zxf ghostscript-8.62.tar.gz $ cd ghostscript-8.62 $ ./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 8.62

• 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.

UBUNTU NOTES

• Install build-essential FIRST:
  • $ sudo apt-get install build-essential

    $ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz $ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz $ cd foo2zjs $ sudo make uninstall $ make $ ./getweb 1020

    • OR other printer
    $ sudo make install install-hotplug cups For 7.10 and later users:
    • $ sudo system-config-printer
    For 5.10/6.06/6.10/7.04 users:
    • $ sudo gnome-cups-manager

      [configure ColorMode = Color if a color printer] $ sudo make cups Ubuntu has a bug in gnome-cups-manager with Color, so you must restart cups. No other distro has this bug.

  If that doesn't work, then fire up:

  • $ firefox http://localhost:631

  And click on:

  • Printers -> Set Printer Options -> Color Mode -> Color

  Then click on:
  • Set Printer Options

DEBIAN NOTES

• Install build-essential, foomatic-filters, cupsys FIRST:
  • $ su # apt-get install build-essential # apt-get install foomatic-filters # apt-get install cupsys

    $ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz $ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz $ cd foo2zjs $ make $ ./getweb 1020

    • OR other printer
    $ su # make install install-hotplug cups

    $ firefox http://localhost:631

OPENSUSE 10.3 NOTES

• Do this:
  • # zypper sa \

    • http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_10.3/ \ Printing

    # zypper up -r Printing -t package
  Then install using the above instructions.

ASUS EEE PC NOTES

• It is a version of Xandros. First:
  • Get a shell by typing ctrl-alt-T $ sudo su - # vi or kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
    • add the following line:

      • deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

    # apt-get -f install # apt-get install wget # apt-get install build-essential

    <ctrl-d>

    $ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz $ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz $ cd foo2zjs $ make $ ./getweb 1020

    • OR other printer, e.g. 2600n
    $ sudo make install install-hotplug cups
  Then use the "Add Printer" GUI.

MAC OS X NOTES

• Please read the detailed installation instructions by Clint Morgan and Rick Richardson in the file INSTALL.osx.

FREEBSD NOTES

• You need the following packages before you start the "make":
  • # pkg_add -r wget # pkg_add -r gmake # pkg_add -r ghostscript-gnu # pkg_add -r cups # pkg_add -r foomatic-filters
  Use "gmake" instead of "make". USB NOTES FOR HP LJ 1018/1020
  • - Build the kernel without the ulpt driver.

    - cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/ugen0.1

    • or

    - cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/ugen0.1

    - sauron_the_evil_bastard in Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris:1 on Yahoo! chat. - Alexander Sashurin a.k.a. ZetRooT or WinterSilence

OPENBSD NOTES

• You need the following packages before you start the "make":
  • # pkg_add wget # pkg_add gmake # pkg_add -i ghostscript # pkg_add cups # pkg_add unzip
  Use "gmake" instead of "make".

OPENSOLARIS, SOLARIS EXPRESS DEVELOPER EDITION 9/07, Solaris 11+ NOTES

• Use "bash" for your shell. Only network printers are supported.

  $ export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/sfw/bin [ Load CD Solaris_Software_Companion] $ cd /media/S10_807_SOFTWARE_COMPANION/Solaris_Software_Companion/Solaris_i386/Packages $ su root -c "/usr/bin/bash"

  # pkgadd -d pwd SFWgroff # pkgadd -d pwd SFWgawk

  $ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz $ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz $ cd foo2zjs $ gmake $ ./getweb 2530

  • OR other printer
  $ su root -c "/usr/bin/bash" # gmake install # printmgr To see a screen to the GUI:

  • http://foo2lava.rkkda.com/solaris/

  NOTE: you cannot see the printer options (Paper Source, Paper Type, Paper Media, Color Mode, ICM, etc.). 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

HP LASERJET 1000/1005/1018/1020, P1005/P1006/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 Unplug and re-plug the USB printer.
    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

    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
  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

  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.

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 PageSize=Custom.4x6in ~/testpage.ps $ lpr -P hp2600 -o PageSize=Custom.10x15cm ~/testpage.ps $ lpr -P hp1020 -o PageSize=Custom.4x6in ~/testpage.ps Or, use a GUI that allows the custom size parameters, e.g.

  "evince" - PostScript and PDF File Viewer.

SET DEFAULT MEDIA WITH CUPS

• $ sudo # lpoptions -o media=A4
  • -OR-
  # lpoptions -o media=Letter

UPDATE

• Here are handy lines you can click on to get the latest version:

  • http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/ wget http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz

  My advice: update early and often!!!!

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:20070910;

CUSTOM ICC/ICM COLOR PRINTER PROFILE

• I need:
  • Samsung CLP-600 Samsung CLP-610
  at the default resolution! 0) Pick a vendor, e.g.
  • "Custom ICC ICM colour printer profile RGB or CMYK" Seller: personalised101

    http://stores.ebay.ie/The-Graphics-Depot Cost: 10 pounds "We Create a Custom ICC Profile for Your Printer-" Seller: fotojimbo

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=200162943572&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=010 Cost: 10 dollars

  1) Convert the vendor sheet(s) from *.tif to *.ps (OPTIONAL)
  • $ gimp
    • OR

    Preferred, using ImageMagick's "convert" $ convert Color\ Patch\ RGB\ \(Page\ 1\).tif page1.ps $ convert Color\ Patch\ RGB\ \(Page\ 2\).tif page2.ps

  2) Print the Postscript vendor sheet(s) with NO color correction:
  • $ foo2hp2600-wrapper -c -C10 -Gnone.icm \

    • test_sheets_from_icc_vendor.ps > test.prn

    $ nc 192.168.1.xxxxxxx 9100 < test.prn

    • OR
    $ cp test.prn /dev/usb/lp0
  3) Send them to the vendor by POSTAL MAIL 4) Get back *.icc/*.icm profile by EMAIL or WEB 5) Put it in /usr/share/foo2hp/icm/testing.icm 6) Print a test picture:
  • $ foo2hp2600-wrapper -c -C10 -Gtesting.icm \

    • picture.ps > picture.prn

    $ nc 192.168.1.xxxxxxx 9100 < picture.prn

    • OR
    $ cp picture.prn /dev/usb/lp0

  7) If it is OK, send "testing.icm" to rick.richardson@comcast.net

  • for inclusion in foo2zjs.
  Other printers: use foo2qpdl-wrapper and /usr/share/foo2qpdl/icm/ Other printers: use foo2lava-wrapper and /usr/share/foo2lava/icm/
