Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Upstream URL: http://home.mn.rr.com/richardsons/foo2zjs/ Copyright: GPL Authors: Rick Richardson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Robert Szalai Description: Support for printing to ZjStream-based printers
foo2zjs is an open source printer driver for printers that use the Zenographics ZjStream wire protocol for their print data, such as the Minolta/QMS magicolor 2200 DL and 2300 DL and HP LaserJet 1000 and 1005. These printers are often erroneously referred to as winprinters or GDI printers. However, Microsoft GDI only mandates the API between an application and the printer driver, not the protocol on the wire between the printer driver and the printer. In fact, ZjStream printers are raster printers which happen to use a very efficient wire protocol which was developed by Zenographics and licensed by most major printer manufacturers for at least some of their product lines. ZjStream is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as Postscript, PCL, Epson, etc. The package request is attached.

--- Begin Message ---Hi currently Laserjet 1000 will not work with what is in debian since the foo2zjs bins ( foo2zjs-wrapper etc. ) are missing. Without them Laserjet 1000 and 1005 will behave like /dev/null ( with the erratic cups error message "Media tray emtpy" but the real problem is that the wrapper is missing ). Are you planing to package it too? Thanks in advance Max
