       foo2hp [options] zjs-file

       foo2hp [options] zjs-file

DESCRIPTION
       foo2hp  converts	 Ghostscript pbmraw, bitcmyk, or cups output formats to monochrome or color ZJS streams, for driving

       -c     Force color mode if autodetect doesn't work.

       -d duplex
	      Duplex code to send to printer [1].

       -n copies
	      Number of copies [1].

       -r xresxyres
	      Set device resolution in pixels/inch [600x600].

       -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.

	      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
