| PackageDescription | foo2hp is an open source printer driver for printers that use the Zenographics
ZjStream wire protocol for their print data, such as the HP Color LaserJet
2600n and the HP Color LaserJet CP1215. 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.
