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):
$ su OR $ sudo make install-hotplug
# make install-hotplug
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-7.05-24.7), 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 users:
# system-config-printer
Create printers (Mandrake/Manrivia)
# printerdrake
Create printers (Suse 10.0)
# yast2 printer
Create printers (Ubuntu)
$ 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".
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
$ 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.
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
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 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
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:
cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1000.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
or:
cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
or:
cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
or:
cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.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 you
can simulate this by reloading the paper and doing:
$ usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0
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 install":
# pkg_add -r gmake
# pkg_add -r ghostscript-gnu
# pkg_add -r cups
# pkg_add -r foomatic-filters
Use "gmake" instead of "make".
64-bit GHOSTSCRIPT
------------------
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.
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.
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
SET DEFAULT MEDIA WITH CUPS
---------------------------
$ sudo
# lpoptions -o media=A4
-OR-
# lpoptions -o media=Letter
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.

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.
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
CUSTOM ICC/ICM COLOR PRINTER PROFILE
------------------------------------
0) Pick a vendor, e.g.
http://stores.ebay.ie/The-Graphics-Depot
"Custom ICC ICM colour printer profile RGB or CMYK"
1) Convert the vendor sheet(s) from *.tif to *.ps (OPTIONAL)
$ gimp
OR
$ 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/test.icm
6) Print a test picture:
$ foo2hp2600-wrapper -c -C10 -Gtest.icm \
picture.ps > picture.prn
7) If it is OK, send "test.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/
