foo2zjs is an open source printer driver for printers that use the Zenographics
|
|
ZjStream wire protocol for their print data, such as the Minolta/QMS magicolor
|
|
2300 DL or Konica Minolta magicolor 2430 DL. 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,
|
|
ZjStream printers are raster printers which happen to use a very efficient wire
|
|
protocol which was developed by Zenographics and licensed by most major printer
|
|
manufacturers for at least some of their product lines. ZjStream is just one of
|
|
many wire protocols that are in use today, such as Postscript, PCL, Epson, etc.
