README for lj4m
|
|
|
|
This is a slightly improved (from my point of view) version of the
|
|
lj4m driver published in Dr. Dobbs in September 1994. The original
|
|
code is available (without a makefile or anything like that) from
|
|
ftp.mv.com in /pub/ddj/1994.09/asc.zip in the file lj4m.asc. This
|
|
contains all the listings for the article. All that is necesary
|
|
is included here.
|
|
|
|
There is no copyright on this code, so I don't know if it is intended
|
|
to be public domain or not. However, since I am releasing this
|
|
version, please send any comments and/or complaints to me, not
|
|
the original authors. This is made easier since they don't include
|
|
their email addresses in the file...
|
|
|
|
`make' will make lj4m with optimal compilation flags. `make install'
|
|
will copy it to /usr/sbin. If you don't like that, copy it somewhere
|
|
else.
|
|
|
|
I have no intent to release improved versions. I've commented the
|
|
top of the C file with my ideas, but I don't care enough to
|
|
implement any of them.
|
|
|
|
The HP manuals will help you if you want to play with some aspects
|
|
of this, or if you want to understand the printer strings that are
|
|
sent.
|
|
|
|
The manual for HP PCL Job Language (PJL) does not appear to have
|
|
an ISBN, but the "Manual Part No." is 5961-0998.
|
|
The manual for HP PCL 5 also does not appear to have an ISBN, but
|
|
the "Manual Part No." is 5961-0509
|
|
|
|
One copy of each of these manuals, plus a few others, will be sent
|
|
for free with each purchase of an HP printer. A card comes with the
|
|
printer; you fill it out and send it back and the manuals show up
|
|
some time later.
