NAME

       foo2qpdl-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a QPDL printer stream

SYNOPSIS

       foo2qpdl-wrapper [options] [ps-file]

DESCRIPTION

       foo2qpdl-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the foo2qpdl printer driver.  This script reads a Postscript ps-file or stan-
       dard input and converts it to Samsung/Xerox QPDL printer format for driving the Samsung CLP-300,  CLX-2160,  CLX-3160,  CLP-315,  CLX-3175,
       CLP-600, CLP-610, and Xerox Phaser 6110 QPDL 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 foo2qpdl 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].

       -l xoffxyoff
	      Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [varies with paper size].

       -L mask
	      Send the logical clipping values from -u/-l in the QPDL stream.  foo2qpdl-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

       -z model
	      Printer model. Model 0 is the default.

	      model   Description
	      0       CLP-300, CLX-2160, CLX-3160
	      1       CLP-600
	      2       CLP-310, CLP-315, CLP-610, CLX-3175
	      3       CLP-620

   Color Tweaking Options
       These are the options used to control the quality of color output.  Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.

       -g gsopts
	      Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as -g"-dDITHERPPI=nnn", etc.  This option may appear more than once.

       -G profile.icm
	      Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary (CRD) using foo2zjs-icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using the
	      Postscript setcolorrendering operator.  (WORK IN PROGRESS).

       -G gamma-file.ps
	      Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator.  For exam-
	      ple, the file might contain:
	      {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer

       -I intent
	      Select profile intent from the ICM file.	0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric, 2=Saturation, 3=Absolute.  Default is 0 (perceptual).

   Debugging Options
       These options are used for debugging foo2qpdl and its wrapper.

       -S plane
	      Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it on the black plane.  The default is to output all color planes.

	      1   Cyan
	      2   Magenta
	      3   Yellow
	      4   Black

       -D level
	      Set Debug level [0].

EXAMPLES

       Create a monochrome QPDL stream from a Postscript document, examine it, and then print it using a RAW print queue:

	      foo2qpdl-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
	      qpdldecode < testpage.zm
	      lpr -P raw testpage.zm

       Create a color QPDL stream from a Postscript document:

	      foo2qpdl-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
