foo2hbpl

We call for your help with the Japanese translations for project summaries. The submitted translations will be posted after simple evaluation. (Not only the translation itself is going to be checked, but we also make sure it's clear of wiki format problems. Especially problems that are related to the layout, such as line breaks and links, will be checked, so please give heed. When there appears to be a problem with the translation itself or the layout, we may not be able to post your translation. We often see problematic cases related to links. When there's going to be a line of Japanese text right after the URL, please make sure to leave a space to separate.) Also, even with projects that may already have their summaries translated, if you find an outdated translation or typographical errors, please update. Login to start translating. When you are done, you will find your name at the bottom of the summary as the translator.

You are not Logged in. If you submit this translation, your name will not show on the this project page (will be logged as "translated by an anonymous user").

foo2hbpl is an open source printer driver for printers that use the HBPL version 2 wire protocol for their print data, such as the Dell 1355, Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM205, or the Xerox WorkCentre 6015. 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, HBPL printers are raster printers that happen to use a very efficient wire protocol. HBPL is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as Postscript, PCL, Epson, ZjStream, etc. This driver uses Ghostscript to perform all of the heavy lifting (image processing). There are five major components to the foo2hbpl printer driver: foo2hbpl2 (the page image to protocol conversion engine of the driver); foo2hbpl2-wrapper (a shell script (compatible with foomatic) that runs ghostscript and foo2hbpl in a pipeline); icc2ps (converts an ICM color profile to a Postscript CRD, which is then fed into Ghostscript before the users Postscript program); foomatic-db (foomatic database entries that describe the supported printers and their options so that printer spoolers know how to access the printer using foo2hbpl2-wrapper); and hbpldecode (a tool for developers to inspect HBPL streams).
