|
Compilation:
|
|
|
|
You will need libusbx to build this tool.
|
|
|
|
Fedora/RedHat:
|
|
yum install libusbx-devel
|
|
Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
apt-get install libusbx-dev
|
|
|
|
And all you need to do after that is type 'make'
|
|
|
|
***************************************************************************
|
|
CUPS backend usage:
|
|
|
|
The simple method is to use Gutenprint 5.2.10 or newer, which bundles
|
|
(possibly older versions of) this backend. Without Gutenprint to
|
|
rasterize the print data, this backend is useless.
|
|
|
|
The backend is called 'gutenprint+usb', and must be installed with 0700
|
|
file permissions and owned by root in order to function properly.
|
|
|
|
To install this backend for use with CUPS, simply type 'make install'.
|
|
|
|
You may need to restart CUPS afterwards.
|
|
|
|
DEVICE_URI=someuri \
|
|
gutenprint+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:
|
|
|
|
BACKEND=backend \
|
|
gutenprint [ args ]
|
|
|
|
(OR)
|
|
|
|
backend [ args ]
|
|
|
|
That said, all internal backends support these invocation options
|
|
|
|
backend filename
|
|
backend - < filename
|
|
somecommand | backend -
|
|
backend [ backend-specific-argument ]
|
|
|
|
The 'filename' here refers to the raw spool data generated by
|
|
Gutenprint (eg via its gimp plugin) or the Windows print-to-file
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
If there is more than one device present that the backend handles,
|
|
the backend will choose the first supported device it finds. If you
|
|
wish to specify the specific device when operating in standalone
|
|
mode, set the 'DEVICE' environment variable to the target device's
|
|
serial number. For example:
|
|
|
|
DEVICE=N782 backend filename
|
|
|
|
All backends support an additional operational mode, to test out
|
|
unknown models. To use this mode, specify the VID, PID and its
|
|
type as environment variables. For example:
|
|
|
|
EXTRA_VID=04a9 EXTRA_PID=3ab1 EXTRA_TYPE=3 backend filename
|
|
|
|
EXTRA_VID is the USB VID, in hex
|
|
EXTRA_PID is the USB PID, in hex
|
|
EXTRA_TYPE is: 3 for SELPHY CP790
|
|
4 for SELPHY CP520 (or other CP-series model)
|
|
|
|
If you have a model the spooler doesn't recognize but it works with
|
|
a VID/PID/TYPE specification, please let me know via e-mail.
|
|
|
|
Finally, some backends may support additional arguments; see below:

|
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.
|
|
|
|
This backend supports additional commands:

|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
[1] 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
|
|
'-qs' command, specifically the 'Bank' output.
|
|
|
|
[2] 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)
|
|
|
|
[3] Default printer tone curve is a linear 'val << 3'
