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 stan-
       dard input and converts it to XQX printer format for driving the HP LaserJet P1005/P1006/P1007/P1008, the HP LaserJet P1505, the HP  Laser-
       Jet P2014, the HP LaserJet M1005 MFP, the HP LaserJet M1120 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.

   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  dimen-
	      sions,  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
