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
       standard input and converts it to XQX printer format for driving the HP
       LaserJet  P1005/P1006/P1007/P1008,  the  HP  LaserJet  P1505,  the   HP
       LaserJet  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
              dimensions,  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
