 ***************************************************************************

  This intelligent backend is needed to utilize many common dye-sublimation
  photo printers under Linux, OSX, and other UNIX-like operating systems.

  Although these printers advertise themselves as standard USB Printer Class
  devices, they do not actually obey those specifications and require 
  special two-way handshaking in order to successfully print.

  This backend can only be used in conjunction with Gutenprint 5.2.10 or
  newer.  Please see the Gutenprint README file (section II D) for more
  information on  use of this backend and integration into CUPS.
  
  Although this backend is bundled with Gutenprint, this repository is 
  considered the canonical upstream source where all development occurs.
  As such, when compared to the current Gutenprint release, the code found 
  here is often newer, with additional features or device support.  At the
  same time, it may have half-developed features that don't quite work, 
  with giant bugs that come out at midnight to eat your cat.

  On that note, please keep in mind that this software distributed
  in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.

 ***************************************************************************

  This backend also supports a "standalone" mode that performs various 
  utility functions for selected printers, such as querying status and
  configuring various parameters. The exact commands supported for each
  printer are documented below.

 ***************************************************************************
  Compilation:

     This tool requires libusb 1.0 to build.  We highly recommend 
     v1.0.16 or newer due to general stability improvements. Versions
     older than 1.0.10 will require -DLIBUSB_PRE_1_0_10 to be defined 
     (see the Makefile).

     To further complicate things, libusb-1.0 had a temporary fork called
     libusbx, but that was merged back into libusb as of v1.0.18.  
     Consequently, your distribution package for libusb-1.0 may be 
     called libusbx instead.

     Fedora/RedHat:
	yum install libusbx-devel libusb1-devel
     Debian/Ubuntu
	apt-get install libusbx-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev

   And all you need to do after that is type 'make'

 ***************************************************************************
  CUPS backend usage:

   DEVICE_URI=someuri \
       gutenprint52+usb job-id user title num-copies options [ filename ]

 ***************************************************************************
  Standalone usage:

    This backend is set up as a multi-call executable; that is to say
    behaivor changes based on the name used to invoke the executable.
    When compiled, a set of symlinks are created, corresponding to each
    of the internal backends.  Alternatively you may set the BACKEND
    environment variable to force a specific backend to be used.  These
    commands are all equivalent:

         BACKEND=backend gutenprint52+usb [ arguments ]
   	 gutenprint52+usb -B backend [ arguments ]
 	 backend [ arguments ]

     All backends support the following invocations:

        backend [ arguments ]
  	backend [ arguments ] filename
	backend [ arguments ] - < filename
	somecommand | backend [ arguments ] -

      The 'filename' here refers to the raw spool data generated by
      Gutenprint (eg via its gimp plugin) or the Windows print-to-file 
      output.

      Extra debugging output can be enabled by setting the DYESUB_DEBUG
      environment variable or passing the '-D' argument on the command line.

      If you have multiple models of the same printer family connected
      simultaneously, the backend will choose the first one it finds.  If you
      wish to target a specific device, you may specify its serial number
      in the 'DEVICE' environment variable or by passing the '-S serialnum'
      argument on the command line.  For example, these are equivalent:

  	  DEVICE=N782 backend filename [ arguments ]
	  backend -S N782 filename [ arguments ]

      All backends support an additional operational mode, to test out
      unknown models. To use this mode, specify the VID, PID and its 
      internal device type as arguments or environment variables:

 	  EXTRA_VID=04a9 EXTRA_PID=3ab1 EXTRA_TYPE=7 backend filename
 	  backend -V 04a9 -P 3ab1 -T 7 filename

      The VID and PID are specified in hexidecimal, and the TYPE is 
      the P_XXX enumeration defined in backend_common.h. The '7' in this
      example corresponds to most Canon SELPHY CP models, and is what you
      would use if you were trying to get the backend to detect an
      otherwise unrecognized SELPHY CP model.

      If you are able to successfuly print using this technique, please let
      us know so we can add the apppriate entry to the internal database.

      Finally, some backends support additional arguments; see below:

   Verified supported printers:

     Shinko CHC-S2145 (aka "Sinfonia S2")

   Development was sponsored by:

        LiveLink Technology [ www.livelinktechnology.net ]

   In order to use this backend, you will need to ensure the printer is
   configured to use the 'DRV' (as opposed to 'DLL') operating mode.  See 
   the printer documentation for details on how to set this.

   Valid commands:

     -b [ 0 | 1 ]       Disable or Enable the printer control panel.
     -c filename        Query User tone curve from flash        [1]
     -C filename        Store User tone curve in flash          [1]
     -e                 Query Error log
     -f                 Enable Fast return from prints          [2]
     -F                 Flash printer LEDs for 5 seconds
     -i                 Query printer firmware information
     -l filename        Query Current tone curve from RAM       [1]
     -L filename        Store Current tone curve in RAM         [1]
     -m                 Query media information
     -r                 Reset User tone curve to default        [4]
     -R                 Reset printer to factory defaults
     -s                 Query printer status
     -u                 Query user string
     -U somestring      Set user string to 'somestring'
     -X id              Cancel print job 'id'                    [3]

  Notes:

    [1]  Format of curvedata file:

	 256 entries each of Yellow, Magenta, Cyan mappings:
	 Values are unsigned 16-bit big endian, between 0 and 2047 
	 (ie only 11 bits used)

    [2]  This terminates the backend as soon as the printer has acknowledged
         the print job, without waiting for the print job to complete.
         This can also be enabled by setting the 'FAST_RETURN' environment
         variable.  This is the default behavior when using this backend
	 with CUPS.

    [3]  Job ID is the Internal Job ID (reported via status)
    	   This cancels a multi-copy print job.
	   To see which jobs are active/pending, see the output of the
	   '-s' command, specifically the 'Bank' output.

    [4]  Default printer tone curve is a linear 'val << 3'
