designjet - HP DesignJet printer/plotter driver

DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
The _d_e_s_i_g_n_j_e_t driver is a device specific driver for HP DesignJet
printer/plotters. The 650C and 750C plotters are supported. _d_e_s_i_g_n_j_e_t
reads STIFF format image files and writes RTL commands to standard out
(the output is intended to be directed to the printer with an output
device specific driver).
The driver opens and maintains the POD printer database files for the
specified printer. The file <_p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e>._c_o_n_f_i_g contains the detailed
information on the printer's capabilities, <_p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e>._s_t_a_t_u_s contains
the information on operational status of the printer, and
<_p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e>._l_o_g contains the information on print job history. For
more information on the POD files refer to the _l_i_b_p_o_d(_3) man page.

_d_e_s_i_g_n_j_e_t assumes that its input is coming from its standard input
(stdin) unless a filename is specified after any and all command line
options.
_d_e_s_i_g_n_j_e_t accepts the input files in chunky STIFF format and supports 1
bit K and 1 bit RGB colorspaces. STIFF is a streamable subset of TIFF
6.0. For more information on the STIFF image file format, see the
_l_i_b_s_t_i_f_f(_3) man pages.

----PPPP _p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e
Specifies the printer with which _d_e_s_i_g_n_j_e_t is communicating.
_p_r_i_n_t_e_r_n_a_m_e is the name under which the SystemVR3 spooler
recognizes the printer, as given on the _l_p command line. This
option is required.
----ssss Specifies that the driver should exit after ascertaining
printer status and updating the POD status file.
----DDDD Turns on debugging information. Five levels of debugging
information are supported: none, coarse detail, medium detail,
fine detail, and extra finer detail. These correspond to 0, 1,
2, 3, and 4 or more ----DDDD switches given on the command line.
That is, multiple ----DDDD options given on the command line result

in progressively more detailed debugging information.
----XXXX _H_o_r_i_z_o_n_t_a_l_R_e_s_o_l_u_t_i_o_n
Specifies the horizontal resolution at which to print, one of
the following: 300 or 600 (only the 750C supports 600DPI and
600DPI is only supported in monochrome mode).
----YYYY _V_e_r_t_i_c_a_l_R_e_s_o_l_u_t_i_o_n
Specifies the vertical resolution at which to print, one of the
following: 300 or 600 (only the 750C supports 600DPI and 600DPI
is only supported in monochrome mode).
----SSSS _P_a_p_e_r_S_i_z_e
Specifies the papersize to request from the printer. This may
be any papersize recognized by libpod(3), but only those sizes
listed in the printer configuration file should be used. This
is normally derived from the printer status database, but if
given, it overrides and will be written to the printer status
database.
----hhhh Print a usage statement.
----FFFF _F_i_l_e_F_o_r_m_a_t
Format of file to print. _F_i_l_e_F_o_r_m_a_t can be "hpgl" or "stiff".
If "hpgl" is specified the input stream is sent to the plotter
unaltered.
----jjjj _Q_u_a_l_i_t_y_M_o_d_e
Specifies the quality mode to use. _Q_u_a_l_i_t_y_M_o_d_e can be
"economode", "normal" or "presentation".
----oooo _d_M_e_d_i_a_T_y_p_e
Specifies media type loaded in plotter. MediaType can be
"plain", "special", "glossy", or "transparency:.
----RRRR Rotate Plot. Should be specified to rotate plot 90 degrees
(swaps X and Y axis). This saves paper on roll sheets by
printing the long edge of the paper size along the leading edge
of the paper roll. If the image size will not fit after being
rotated then the rotation is not done (E size plots can not be
rotated so -R is ignored if paperize is E).

----BBBB _b_u_f_f_e_r__s_i_z_e
Size of buffer to use to read and write data. Specified in
bytes.

The driver normally exits with an exit code of zero (0), denoting no
error. A number of exit codes are supported to give more information
about unsuccessful exits.
The error codes 1 through 18 denote the following meanings, in order:
CODE REASON
1 unknown error
2 bad command line or img header args
3 bad POD database access
4 bad device name
5 bad device type
6 bad status update
7 unsuccessful device access
8 bad memory reference
9 failed memory allocation
10 invalid data format
11 invalid data header
12 short or empty input data file
13 short or empty firmware code file
14 bad or short input data file
15 failed transmission
16 data buffer invalid
17 test print failed
18 firmware download failed.
A common error exit is on empty input: the driver will return error code
12, indicating a short or empty input file, whenever the PostScript
interpreter (or another upstream filter) dies before a full page of data
was written to the driver. This can happen when bad PostScript code is
sent to be printed, for instance. In this case, the spooler log file
(/var/spool/lp/log) should be consulted to determine which filter failed;
an error should have been written to this file by the dying filter or
driver.
KKKKNNNNOOOOWWWWNNNN BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
Manual feed requests are currently ignored: since the driver does not
implement manual feed timeouts, manual feed has been disabled.
