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 Post‐
       script  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, the HP LaserJet Pro M1132s MFP, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf 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
