- Version 2.0 of this driver was developed in mid-2000 by Marcin
- Dalecki, with cooperation from Okidata, who sent him a printer and
- some protocol help. (Heck, they sent me (Grant) one, too!) <p>
-
- The driver comes with all sorts of performance warnings and is
- structured such that, if used according to the directions, it is
- slightly awkward to fit into normal print spoolers. This weakness
- aside, it does work. The only flaw was that version 2.0 ejected a
- blank page after every job. This is fixed in version 2.1.<p>
-
- I (Grant) have constructed a framework that lets you use this
- driver under normal spoolers. The execution data and Foomatic
- support here assumes that you are using this framework. To use it,
- obtain oki4linux-2.1gst.tar.gz from the <a
- href="download/printing/">download area</a>.<p>
-
- Note that when you use these foomatic config files the printer
- must be always on the first parallel port. Any output device set
- in the spooler will be ignored. So the best is to choose
- <tt>/dev/null</tt> as the destination device to not
- block the real device. In CUPS you do this with the URI
- "<tt>file:/dev/null</tt>" and in LPD and
- LPRng with the entry "<tt>lp=/dev/null</tt>"
- in the <tt>/etc/printcap</tt> file.<p>

- Flávio Coelho (fccoelho at uerj dot br) reports that the
- Okipage 6w only works with the old 2.0 version of the driver.
