-c Force color mode if autodetect doesn't work.
-d duplex
Duplex code to send to printer [1].

-t Draft mode. Every other pixel is white.
-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 foo2hp 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
-O c,m,y,k
Alignment of CMYK in rows. The default is 0,0,0,0.
-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.
Debugging Options
These options are used for debugging foo2hp.
-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 -r600x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hp -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm
Create a color ZJS stream:
gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
-sPAPERSIZE=letter -g5100x6600 -r600x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
-sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
| foo2hp -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.zc
