INSTALLATION NOTES -- foo2zjs + magicolor 2200DL + OSX
===============================================================================
by Clint Morgan <clint@morgantechnologies.com> - 12/29/2003
FOREWORD
--------
These notes are intended to provide specific instructions for the installation
of foo2zjs on a Mac running OS X, specifically 10.3 (Panther), so you can print
to a magicolor 2200DL. However, the same instructions should apply to other
foo2zjs compatible printers and OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) or newer.
These notes are for a network attached printer. USB printers will not
work right now because OSX doesn't have a raw USB device like linux does.
These instructions are as-is. I can't guarantee they will work for everyone,
that I'll be able to answer any questions, nor that any URLs mentioned in these
instructions will be valid at the time you read this. Be sure to read the
instructions that come with the various source packages mentioned below, as
they will probably help you build the specific package in question. Just
knowing that this can be done and the software required to do it will probably
be enough to get you over any hurdles.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
These requirements are listed in order of their dependencies where dependencies
exist. I have also included the version numbers I used at the time I wrote
this. The versions I choose were simply the most current that existed at the
time, in most cases anyway. The only exception is GhostScript because various
information I found said the newer version wasn't as good (something about
color if I recall correctly)
1) Apple Developer Tools (Jaguar) or Xcode (Panther)
Go to http://www.apple.com for more information.
2) gettext-0.13.0 (required by glib)
Go to http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html for more info.
3) glib-2.2.3 (required by ghostscript)
Go to http://www.gtk.org for more info. NOTE: You do NOT need the entire
GTK+ toolkit.
4) ghostscript-7.07 (required by foo2zjs)
Go to http://www.ghostscript.com for more info. You can also check out
sourceforge.net. NOTE: You do NOT need EPS Ghostscript in order to use
foo2zjs. You have 2 licenses of GhostScript to choose from: the AFPL
license or the GPL license. I have no idea if there is any difference in
the code, but I choose the GPL version. Also, you may find that there is
a source distribution specifically for the Mac. I couldn't get it to
build, but you're more than welcome to try.
5) ghostscript-font-6.0 (required by you if you want ghostscript to do anything)
Go to http://www.ghostscript.com for more info. You can also check out
sourceforge.net. NOTE: The fonts are distributed as a separate package
and are NOT included with ghostscript itself.)
6) wget-1.9 (required by foo2zjs build process)
Go to http://www.gnu.org/directory/wget.html for more info. This utility
is required by the foo2zjs build process at the time of this writing. It
is also used by another foo2zjs utility (getweb) to download ICM color
profiles.
7) foomatic-filters-3.0.0 (required by foo2zjs)
Go to http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html for more info. All you
need is the foomatic-filters package.
8) foo2zjs (required by you)
Go to http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com for more info.
NOTE: By default, most of these packages will be installed under the /usr/local
directories. I've noticed that this is not generally the trend under OS X. You
may choose to add --prefix=/usr when running configure.
IE : sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr
INSTALLATION
------------
1) Download, build and install the packages mentioned above. See the install
instructions for each package.
NOTE #1: Installing software on OS X generally requires superuser privileges.
If in doubt, always prefix commands mentioned in each software
package's instructions with "sudo".
eg: sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr
sudo make
sudo make install
NOTE #2: When installing foomatic-filters, use the following command:
sudo make install CUPS=/usr/libexec/cups \
CUPS_FILTERS=/usr/libexec/cups/filter
All on one line, of course. This will install the foomatic-rip
filter in correct place in Panther (10.3.x) and presumably in
Jaguar (10.2.x) so that CUPS can find it.
2) Make sure CUPS is enabled by viewing "/etc/hostconfig" and looking for
"CUPS=-YES-". If you see "CUPS=-NO-", change it and restart your Mac.
If CUPS is already enabled, type "sudo killall -HUP cupsd" in a terminal
window to reinitialize CUPS and make the newly installed drivers available.
3) Now let's setup the printer. However, you CANNOT use the "Printer Setup
Utility" within OSX. Unfortunately that utility does not allow you to
specify the TCP port used to communicate with the printer. Instead we
have to use the CUPS web administration utility by going to:
http://localhost:631
This is apparently the default way to access the CUPS administrator 'cause
I didn't have to do anything to gain access to it. If you are attempting
to use the DB25-to-USB converter cable mentioned in the FOREWORD to hook the
printer directly to your Mac, you may be able to use the "Printer Setup
Utility" app; however, you can still use the CUPS web administration page
also.
a) Go to http://localhost:631
b) Click on "Manage Printers"
c) Click on "Add Printer"
d) Fill in a Name, Location and/or Description with whatever you want.
e) Select "AppSocket/HP JetDirect" from the list of devices.
f) Enter "socket://<printerhostname>:35" as the Device URI, where
<printerhostname> is the hostname or IP address of your printer and
35 is the TCP port the 2200DL receives print jobs on.
eg: socket://192.168.1.254:35
Note: There are some references between the 2200DL and port 9100 on the
Internet. This is a valid port for other Minolta printers, but
NOT the 2200DL.
g) Select the make of your printer. This is "Minolta" for the 2200DL.
h) Select the model of your printer.
HP LASERJET 1000/1005/1018/1020 NOTES
-------------------------------------
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
YOU'RE DONE
-----------
Now you should be able to use your printer. Even though you can't use the
"Printer Setup Utility" to setup the printer, the printer will show up within
it. You will still have to use the CUPS admin page to make any changes to your
printer configuration.
BTW, Apple, Mac, Jaguar, Panther, Xcode are probably trademarks of Apple
Computer, Inc. or their respective owners. Minolta, Desklaser, magicolor, etc.
may be trademarks of Konika Minolta Printing Solutions U.S.A., Inc. or their
respective owners. And other marks may be the intellectual property of their
respective owners.
Send any questions, suggestions and/or corrections to the email address above.
Remember, though, I may be slow to respond to some requests or may not be able
to respond to all. However, I hope this document gives you enough information
to give you a jump-start.
