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, Fedora ghostscript 8.71-16.fc14, because
it will not pass since different versions of Ghostscript generate different
raster images:
    # make test

Create printers (Fedora 6/7/8/.../16 and Ubuntu 7.10/8.x/9.x/10.x/11.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 printers (command line using CUPS)
    # lpadmin -p NAME -v URI -E -P file.ppd
    i.e.
	# lpadmin -p hp1020 -v usb://HP/LaserJet%201020 -E \
	    -P /usr/share/cups/model/HP-LaserJet_1020.ppd.gz
    Set the default:
	# ldadmin -p NAME -d

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.

    * ghostscript 9.+ is broken w.r.t. color. Don't use

    * 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

      If that doesn't compile (e.g. Ubuntu 11.10+), try this:
	$ cd ghostscript-8.71
	$ ./configure  --without-jbig2dec
	$ make CFLAGS+="-DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H=1"

    * 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\*, and system-config-printer FIRST:
	# yum install tix foomatic\* system-config-printer

    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

	# rpm -e --nodeps 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

	$ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
	$ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
	$ cd foo2zjs
	$ 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

DEBIAN NOTES
------------
    Install build-essential, tix, foomatic-filters, groff, cupsys, dc FIRST:
	$ su
	# apt-get install build-essential tix foomatic-filters groff dc
	# apt-get install cups		# For all others
	    OR
	# apt-get install cupsys	# For lenny and earlier

	$ wget -O foo2zjs.tar.gz http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/foo2zjs.tar.gz
        $ tar zxf foo2zjs.tar.gz
        $ cd foo2zjs
        $ make
        $ ./getweb 1020
            OR other printer
        $ su
        # make install install-hotplug cups

	$ firefox http://localhost:631

    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:
	file:/dev/usb/lp0	OR	usb:/dev/usb/lp0
	file:/dev/usb/lp1	OR	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%20P1006
	usb://HP/LaserJet%20P1007
	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).

    Do a "make cups" as root if you haven't done it before.

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

	    # make install      -OR-    $ sudo make install
	    [logout]
	    [login]

	Then:
	    Using the Gnome 2 or Gnome-3 Classic (fallback) GUI:
	    1a)     System Tools -> Gnome Manual Duplex

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;

CUSTOM ICC/ICM COLOR PRINTER PROFILE (ARGYLL)
---------------------------------------------
    Reference:
	firefox http://www.xritephoto.com/html/colormunkisplash.htm
	firefox http://www.argyllcms.com/
	man printer-profile

    DON'T DO THIS ON A 32-BIT (i386) PROCESSOR!
	Ghostscript (8.63) has problems.  Weird color profile data.

    ONLY DO THIS ON A 64-BIT (x86_64)PROCESSOR.
	But, you can use the color profile on i386 and x86_64.

    YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

    Execute:
	$ man printer-profile
	$ printer-profile  manuf model [rgb|cmyk] [patches] [ink-limit]

    If it is OK, send "testing.icm" to rick.richardson@comcast.net
	for inclusion in foo2zjs.
