foo2hp - Linux printer driver for HP 1600, HP 2600n

Description:

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. 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.
