- Install driver, foomatic XML files, PPD files, and extra files:
- $ su OR $ sudo make install
- # make install
- (Optional) Install hotplug (for HP LJ 1000/1005/1018/1020/P100[5678]/P1505):
- $ su OR $ sudo make install-hotplug
- # make install-hotplug
- Unplug and re-plug the USB printer
- If you use CUPS to manage your printers, you must restart cupsd:
- # make cups OR $ sudo make cups
- Test operation of programs. Skip this if you don't have the exact same
- version of Ghostscript that I have, ghostscript 8.60 (2007-08-01), because
- it will not pass since different versions of Ghostscript generate different
- raster images:
- # make test
- Create printers (Fedora 6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13 and Ubuntu 7.10/8.x/9.x/10.x):
- # system-config-printer
- Create printers (Redhat 7.2/7.3/8.0/9.0, Fedora Core 1-5):
- # printconf-gui
- Create printers (Mandrake/Manrivia)
- # printerdrake
- Create printers (openSUSE 10.x/11.x)
- # yast2 printer
- Create printers (Ubuntu 5.10/6.06/6.10/7.04)
- $ sudo gnome-cups-manager
- $ sudo make cups # Ubuntu has a bug in gnome-cups-manager
- NOTE: to edit a queue hit "Properties" (click right mouse button).
- Create printers (Debian)
- Connect with a web browser to:
- http://localhost:631
- And configure printer (HP example shown) to:
- HP LaserJet 2600n, Foomatic + foo2zjs (en)
- Then edit "Manage Printers->Configure Printer" to suit you,
- such as "Page Size" or "Color Mode".
- Create printers (Solaris 11+)
- # printmgr
- Create at least one queue for monochrome, and another queue
- for color printing. Create the queues, then edit them and
- set the "device options" as desired.
- For a networked Minolta/QMS 2300 DL, I used a "Queue Type"
- of "Unix Printer (LPD)", and set the "Server" to the IP address
- of the printer, and the "Queue" to "lp".
- For a networked HP Color Laserjet 2600n, I used a "Queue Type"
- of "Networked JetDirect", and set the "Printer" to the IP address
- of the printer, and the "Port" to "9100".
- GHOSTSCRIPT BUGS
- ----------------
- * ghostscript 8.64 is broken w.r.t. color. Don't use!
- * ghostscript 9.00 is broken w.r.t. fonts in landscape mode.
- * Well Tempered Screening (WTS) works with ghostscript 8.54 thru 8.70+.
- So if you want BEST COLORS, you'll have to install gs 8.54 or better
- if you don't have it.
- $ gs --version
- 8.15.2
- $ wget "http://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/GPL/gs871/ghostscript-8.71.tar.gz"
- $ tar zxf ghostscript-8.71.tar.gz
- $ cd ghostscript-8.71
- $ ./autogen.sh
- $ make
- $ su OR $ sudo cp bin/gs /usr/bin/gs.foo
- # cp bin/gs /usr/bin/gs.foo
- (Optional)
- # make install OR $ sudo make install
- $ gs.foo --version
- 8.71
- * Halftoning Bug:
- "The problems with WTS are primarily that it seems to fall down
- on the halftone generation for some angles when the lpi is high for
- the current resolution." - Ray Johnston <ray.johnston@artifex.com>
- So choose Standard, Accurate Screens, or reduce the resolution to
- 600x600.
- * Ghostscript before 8.55 has a problem with ICM files and 64-bit gcc.
- It causes a segfault with km2430_2.icm. So don't select that one.
- FEDORA NOTES
- ------------
- Install tix, foomatic\* FIRST:
- # yum install tix foomatic\*
- If you are using a USB printer AND Fedora 12+, do this:
- # grep udev-configure-printer /var/log/messages
- /var/log/messages:Jan 23 07:32:54 dual udev-configure-printer: \
- invalid or missing IEEE 1284 Device ID
- # yum remove system-config-printer-udev
- # shutdown -r now
- Power off then on the printer.
- Ref:
- http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=558162
- UBUNTU NOTES
- ------------
- Install build-essential, tix, foomatic-filters, groff FIRST:
- $ sudo apt-get install build-essential tix foomatic-filters groff dc

- $ sudo make uninstall
- $ make
- $ ./getweb 1020
- OR other printer
- $ sudo make install install-hotplug cups
- For 7.10 and later users:
- $ sudo system-config-printer
- For 5.10/6.06/6.10/7.04 users:
- $ sudo gnome-cups-manager
- [configure ColorMode = Color if a color printer]
- $ sudo make cups
- Ubuntu has a bug in gnome-cups-manager with Color, so you must
- restart cups. No other distro has this bug.
- If that doesn't work, then fire up:
- $ firefox http://localhost:631
- And click on:
- Printers -> Set Printer Options -> Color Mode -> Color
- Then click on:
- Set Printer Options

- NOTE: you cannot see the printer options (Paper Source, Paper Type,
- Paper Media, Color Mode, ICM, etc.). There is NO GUI to do it!!!
- Sorry.
- MINOLTA-QMS 2200/2300 DL NOTES
- ------------------------------
- Use the network interface if you can. These printers understand Unix
- LPD printer server protocol. So when setting up the printer queue,
- you can select "UNIX Printer (lpd queue)", set the lpd queue name to
- "lp" (arbitrary), and set the "Server" to the IP address of the
- printer.
- These printers also understand several other printer server protocols,
- such as JetDirect and IPP, but I have not tried them. In any case,
- I'm not aware of any advantages of using them over LPD.
- The USB interface on this printer will work if your printer is at
- firmware revision 2.55 or later. Mine was not, but I was able to
- get this firmware from the Konica Minolta Europe web site. The USA
- site doesn't have it. Upgrading the firmware on your printer can
- be dangerous and might turn your printer into a paperweight, so I do
- not recommend it unless you need USB and are a computer expert. To
- get the v2.55 firmware upgrade, try:
- ./getweb 2300dl_fw
- CUPS USB NOTES
- --------------
- If you are using the USB port, then the URI should be:
- usb:/dev/usb/lp0
- usb:/dev/usb/lp1
- OR
- usb://Samsung/CLP-310%20Series
- usb://Samsung/CLP-310%20Series
- usb://HP/Color%20LaserJet%20CP1215
- usb://HP/Color%20LaserJet%202600n
- usb://HP/LaserJet%201000
- usb://HP/LaserJet%201005
- usb://HP/LaserJet%201018
- usb://HP/LaserJet%201020
- usb://HP/LaserJet%20P1005

- usb://HP/LaserJet%20P1008
- usb://HP/LaserJet%20P1505
- usb://HP/LaserJet%20Professional%20P1102w
- Don't use hp://<whatever> because that is for hplip (a closed source,
- proprietary driver).
- HP LASERJET 1000/1005/1018/1020, P1005/P1006/P1007/P1008/P1505 NOTES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- These printers need their firmware downloaded to them every time they
- are powered up.
- On Linux with USB connected printer:
- If you are running Linux and the printer is connected via USB, you
- can arrange for the firmware to be automatically downloaded to the
- printer by performing one more installation step:
- # make install-hotplug
- Power off then on the printer. Light should flash orange for
- ~5 seconds as the firmware is getting downloaded.
- On another OS or with a parallel port connected printer:
- 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 ONE of these:
- # cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1000.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
- # cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1005.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
- # cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1018.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
- # cat /usr/share/foo2zjs/firmware/sihp1020.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
- # cat /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1005.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
- # cat /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1006.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
- # cat /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1505.dl > /dev/usb/lp0
- Light should flash orange for ~5 seconds as the firmware is
- getting downloaded.
- On Mac OS X:
- 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
- $ lp -oraw /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1005.dl
- $ lp -oraw /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1006.dl
- $ lp -oraw /usr/share/foo2xqx/firmware/sihpP1505.dl
- -OR-
- Add a line to /etc/rc.local and reboot:
- killall osx-hplj-hotplug; \
- osx-hplj-hotplug >/tmp/osx-hplj-hotplug 2>&1 &
- -OR-
- Issue a "make install-hotplug" command:
- $ sudo make install-hotplug
- Light should flash orange for ~5 seconds as the firmware is
- getting downloaded.
- Firmware Not Downloaded:
- # usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0
- GET_DEVICE_ID string:
- MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet 1020;CMD:ACL;CLS: PRINTER;\
- DES:HP LaserJet 1020;
- Firmware Downloaded:
- # usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0
- GET_DEVICE_ID string:
- MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet 1020;CMD:ACL;CLS: PRINTER;\
- DES:HP LaserJet 1020;FWVER:20050309;
- NOTE: The original HP files are named '*.img'. Sometimes HP supplies
- these files ready-to-download to the printer, sometimes they are raw
- ARM executables and need to have a special header added to them before
- they can be downloaded. The "make install" step will use the supplied
- "arm2hpdl" program to automatically detect which kind of file they are
- and convert them (if needed) to the downloadable '*.dl' format.
- These printers do not have a "button" when you run out of paper.
- But, there is a GNOME gui in:
- Applications -> System Tools -> HPLJ 10xx Replaced Paper
- It requires tcl, tk, and tix. Fedora 5 and later:
- # yum install tcl tk tix
- or, you can simulate this by reloading the paper and doing:
- $ usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0
- or, you can open the print cartridge door and then close it.
- PSUTILS AND 2/4-UP CAPABILITY
- -----------------------------
- If you would like to use the 2-up/4-up capability, then you need to
- get and install Angus Duggan's excellent psutils package. You can
- find the source code for psutils here:
- http://knackered.knackered.org/angus/psutils/index.html
- Or an RPM here:
- http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=psutils
- CUSTOM PAGE SIZE
- ----------------
- Append "PageSize=Custom.MMMxNNNin" to the lpr command. E.G.
- $ lpr -P hp2600 -o media=letter -o PageSize=Custom.4x6in ~/testpage.ps
- $ lpr -P hp2600 -o media=letter -o PageSize=Custom.10x15cm ~/testpage.ps
- $ lpr -P hp1020 -o media=letter -o PageSize=Custom.4x6in ~/testpage.ps
- Or, use a GUI that allows the custom size parameters, e.g.
- "evince" - PostScript and PDF File Viewer.
- SET DEFAULT MEDIA WITH CUPS
- ---------------------------
- $ sudo
- # lpoptions -o media=A4
- -OR-
- # lpoptions -o media=Letter
- MANUAL DUPLEX
- -------------
- See:
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/g-manual-duplex/
- Install:

- DEVELOPER AND DEBUGGING TIPS
- ----------------------------
- If you want to work on this program, I recommend creating a "raw"
- printer queue directed at the printer, with no protocol conversions.
- OR, simple copy the file to /dev/usb/lp0 (USB) or nc (netcat) the
- file (network).
- Then, you can use the "foo2zjs-wrapper" program to convert Postscript
- test programs to ZjS format, and inspect them with "zjsdecode" before
- deciding whether to print them or not. For example:
- foo2zjs-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.zm
- foo2zjs-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.zc
- zjsdecode < testpage.zm
- zjsdecode < testpage.zc
- lpr -Praw testpage.zm
- OR
- cp testpage.zm /dev/usb/lp0
- OR
- nc 192.168.1.NNN 9100 < testpage.zm
- Same thing for the other drivers, e.g. ...
- foo2hiperc-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.hc
- hipercdecode < testpage.hc
- nc 192.168.1.NNN 9100 < testpage.hc
- If the printer is an HP LaserJet 10xx or P1xxx and needs to have the
- firmware downloaded, this will tell you (P1006):
- Before:
- usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0
- MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet P1006;CMD:ACL;CLS:PRINTER;\
- DES:HP LaserJet P1006;
- After:
- usb_printerid /dev/usb/lp0
- MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:HP LaserJet P1006;CMD:ACL;CLS:PRINTER;\
- DES:HP LaserJet P1006;FWVER:20080415;
