Thanks nezabudka for your response. Your code yielded a very close results - only thing is that the update column value is not 12 bytes long (like the original).

Also, if I read your code correctly, you are looking for a "DR" string - it doesn't always have to be DR - could be something else. Also, what would happen if DR value appears in a different column position.

Code:

       -n copies
	      Number of copies [1].

       -r xresxyres
	      Set device resolution in pixels/inch [1200x600].

       -s source
	      Source (InputSlot) code to send to printer [7].
	      | 	 |
	      |1   upper | 4   manual
	      |2   lower | 7   auto

       -t     Draft mode.  Every other pixel is white.

       -T density
	      Print density (1-5).  The default is 3 (medium).

       -J filename
	      Filename string to send to printer.

       -U username
	      Username string to send to printer.

   Printer Tweaking Options
       These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2zjs for a particular printer.

       -u xoffxyoff
	      Set the offset of the start of the printable region from the upper left corner, in pixels [0x0].

       -l xoffxyoff
	      Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower right corner, in pixels [0x0].

       -L mask
	      Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in the ZjStream [3].

	      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

       -P     Do not send START_PLANE codes on monochrome output.  May be needed by some black and white only printers, such as  the  HP  LaserJet
	      1000.

       -A     AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1.  Works with bitcmyk input only.

       -B     BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0.  Works with bitcmyk input only.

       -X padlen
	      Add  extra  zero	padding  to  the  end  of  BID segments.  The default is 16 bytes.  Padding 16 bytes of zeroes is needed for older
	      ZjStream printers, such as the Minolta 2200DL and HP LaserJet 1000, and seems harmless to newer ones, such as  the  Minolta  2300DL.
	      So the default should be good for all cases.

       -z model
	      Model. Default is 0.

	      0   KM 2300DL / HP 1000 / HP 1005
	      1   HP 1018 / HP 1020 / HP 1022
	      2   HP Pro P1102 / P1566 / P1606dn
	      3   HP Pro CP1025

   Debugging Options
       These options are used for debugging foo2zjs.

       -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 black and white ZJS stream:

	      gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
		  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
		  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
	      | foo2zjs -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm

       Create a color ZJS stream:

	      gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
		  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g10200x6600 -r1200x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
		  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
	      | foo2zjs -r1200x600 -g10200x6600 -p1 >testpage.zc
