*************************************************************************** Unified Gutenprint/CUPS Backend for various Dye-Sublimation photo printers (c) 2007-2014 Solomon Peachy <pizza@shaftnet.org> The latest version can be found at http://git.shaftnet.org/cgit/selphy_print.git For a list of known bugs and development plans, see: http://bugs.shaftnet.org/index.php?project=4 *************************************************************************** Supported Printers: Canon SELPHY ES series Canon SELPHY CP series (except CP520, CP820, and CP910) Kodak Professional 1400 Kodak 605 Photo Printer Kodak 805 Photo Printer Kodak 6800 Photo Printer Kodak 6850 Photo Printer Shinko CHC-S2145 (aka "Sinfonia S2") Sony UP-DR150 DNP DS40 DNP DS80 Work-in-progress printers: Mitsubishi CP-D70DW, CP-D707DW and CP-K60DW Sony UP-DR200 *************************************************************************** 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 two-way communications in order to successfully print. If you do not have one of the printers listed above, this backend is not relevant for you and you can just ignore everything below. In order to properly utilize this backend, you must have an up-to-date version of Gutenprint (5.2.10) installed. Once Gutenprint and this backend are installed, if you are using up-to-date versions of CUPS (1.6.4 or newer) on Linux, then your system will automatically select this backend if you plug in one of its supported printers. No further intervention on the user's part should be necessary. Unfortunately, if you are using an older version of CUPS or a non-Linux system (particularly OSX) then you will probably need to manually configure the use of this backend, as the system may attempt to use the default usb backend which does not work properly with these printers. To check which backend your printers are using, run the 'lpstat -s' command. Below is an example of its output: device for Canon_SELPHY_ES1: gutenprint52+usb://Canon/SELPHY%20ES1?serial=221CD10131&backend=canonselphy device for Canon_SELPHY_ES3: usb://Canon/Canon%20SELPHY%20ES3 In this example, the SELPHY ES1 is using the correct gutenprint backend, but the ES3 is using the incorrect 'usb' backend. In order for the ES3 to function properly, you need to configure it to use the correct backend. The most expedient way to accomplish this is to remove the printer via your system's printer configuration interface, then manually add a new one, taking care to select the correct backend ("gutenprint52+usb"). This backend name is present in the device URI for the printer, as demonstrated in the above example. An alternative to the system printer configuration interface is to use your local system's CUPS web interface, if it is enabled. Step-by-step instructions for using any of these interfaces is beyond the scope of this document. Once the printer is properly configured, this backend will be automatically invoked as needed; the user will never invoke the backend directly. *************************************************************************** This backend also supports a "standalone" mode that performs various utility functions for selected printers, such as querying status. The exact commands supported for each printer are documented below. *************************************************************************** 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: 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: BACKEND=backend \ gutenprint52+usb [ 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. You can enable full data dumps by defining the DYESUB_DEBUG environment variable. 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: 4 for SELPHY CP520/820/910 (or other CP-series model) (See P_ANY enum in backend_common.h for more types) 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: *************************************************************************** BACKEND=canonselphy Verified supported printers: ES1, ES2, ES3, ES30, ES40, CP-10, CP-100, CP-200, CP-300, CP-330, CP400, CP500, CP510, CP710, CP720, CP730, CP740, CP750, CP760, CP770, CP780, CP790, CP800, CP900 Unverified/untested, but should work: ES20, CP-220, CP530, CP600, CP810 NOT currently supported by libusb backend: (USB PIDs unknown) CP520, CP820, CP910 This backend does not support additional commands *************************************************************************** BACKEND=kodak1400 Verified supported printers: Kodak 1400 Kodak 805 This backend supports additional commands: kodak1400 [command [arg] ] Valid commands: -stc filename Set tone curve [1] Notes: [1] Format of curvedata file: 256 entries each of Yellow, Magenta, Cyan mappings: Values are unsigned 16-bit big endian, between 0 and ???

See the printer documentation for details on how to set this. This backend supports additional commands: shinkos2145 [command [arg] ] Valid commands: -qs Query printer status -qm Query media information -qf Query firmware version -qe Query Error log -qu Query User String -qtu filename Query User tone curve (stored in flash) [2] -qtc filename Query Current tone curve (stored in RAM) [2] -su somestring Set User String to 'somestring' -stu filename Set User tone curve (stored in flash) [2] -stc filename Set Current tone curve (stored in RAM) [2] -pc id Cancel print job 'id' [1] -fl Flash printer LEDs for five seconds. -ru Reset User tone curve to default [3] -rp Reset printer to factory defaults -b1 Enable printer control panel buttons -b0 Disable printer control panel buttons -f Enable fast return [4] 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' [4] 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. *************************************************************************** BACKEND=sonyupdr150 Verified supported printers: Sony UP-DR150 Theoretically supportable printers: (Unknown USB PID) Sony UP-DR200 This backend does not support additional commands *************************************************************************** BACKEND=mitsu70x NOTE: This backend is not yet present in mainline Gutenprint Theoretically supported printers: (Untested) Mitsubishi CP-D70DW Mitsubishi CP-D707DW Theoretically supportable printers: (Unknown USB PID) Mitsubishi CP-K60DW-S This backend supports additional commands: mitsu70x [command [arg] ] Valid commands: -qs Query printer status (Not fully decoded yet) *************************************************************************** BACKEND=dnpds40 Verified supported printers: DNP DS40 DNP DS80 Development was sponsored by: Marco Di Antonio and ilgruppodigitale.com This backend supports additional commands: dnpds40 [command [arg] ] Valid commands: -qs Query printer status -qi Query printer info (resolution, etc) -qc Query printer counters -cca Clear 'A' Counter -ccb Clear 'B' Counter -ccm Clear 'M' Counter -scp num Set 'P' Counter to 'num'
