foo2oak-wrapper - Convert Postscript into an OAKT printer
stream
foo2oak-wrapper [options] [ps-file]
foo2oak-wrapper is a Foomatic compatible printer wrapper
for the foo2oak printer driver. This script reads a Postscript
ps-file or standard input and converts it to Oak Technology OAKT
printer format for driving the HP Color LaserJet 1500 laser printer, Kyocera
KM-1636/KM-2035 copiers, and other OAKT-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.
These are the options used to select the parameters of a print job
that are usually controlled on a per job basis.
- -b bits
- Number of bits per plane (1 or 2) [1].
- -c
- Print in color (else monochrome).
- -d duplex
- Duplex code to send to printer [1].

These are the options used to customize the operation of
foo2oak 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 OAKT stream.
foo2oak-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 |
- -z model
- Model is 0 for the HP Color LaserJet 1500, and 1 for the Kyocera
KM-1635/KM-2035 copiers. The default is 0.
These are the options used to control the quality of color output.
Color correction is currently a WORK IN PROGRESS.
- -g gsopts
- Additional options to pass to Ghostscript, such as
-g“-dDITHERPPI=nnn”, etc. This option may appear more than
once.
- -G profile.icm
- Convert profile.icm to a Postscript color rendering dictionary
(CRD) using foo2zjs-icc2ps and adjust the printer colors by using
the Postscript setcolorrendering operator. (WORK IN PROGRESS).
- -G gamma-file.ps
- Prepend gamma-file.ps to the Postscript input to perform color
correction using the setcolortransfer Postscript operator. For
example, the file might contain:
{0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} {0.333 exp} setcolortransfer
- -I intent
- Select profile intent from the ICM file. 0=Perceptual, 1=Colorimetric,
2=Saturation, 3=Absolute. Default is 0 (perceptual).
These options are used for debugging foo2oak and its
wrapper.
- -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.

Create a monochrome OAKT stream from a Postscript document,
examine it, and then print it using a RAW print queue:
foo2oak-wrapper testpage.ps > testpage.oak
oakdecode < testpage.oak
lpr -P raw testpage.oak
Create a color OAKT stream from a Postscript document:
foo2oak-wrapper -c testpage.ps > testpage.oak
