NAME
       foo2ddst-wrapper - Convert Postscript into a DDST printer stream

SYNOPSIS
       foo2ddst-wrapper [options] [ps-file]

DESCRIPTION
       foo2ddst-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper for the foo2ddst printer driver.  This script reads a Post‐
       script  ps-file or standard input and converts it to DDST printer format for driving the Ricoh Aficio SP 112, the Ri‐
       coh Aficio SP 201, and other DDST-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.

       -t     Draft mode.  Every other pixel is white.

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

       -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -8 -9 -10 -12 -14 -15 -16 -18
	      Print in N-up.  Requires the psutils package.

       -o orient

	      Portrait	  -op	(normal)
	      Landscape	  -ol	(rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise)
	      Seascape	  -os	(rotated 90 degrees clockwise)

   Printer Tweaking Options
       These are the options used to customize the operation of foo2ddst 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.  foo2ddst-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 be‐
	      longs 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 foo2ddst 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:

	      foo2ddst-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.ddst
	      ddstdecode < testpage.ddst
	      lpr -P raw testpage.ddst
