foo2lava - Linux printer driver for Zenographics LAVAFLOW protocol

Description:

foo2lava is an open source printer driver for printers that use the
Zenographics LAVAFLOW wire protocol for their print data, such as the
Konica Minolta magicolor 2530 DL or the Konica Minolta magicolor 2490
MF. 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, LAVAFLOW 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. LAVAFLOW is
just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as
Postscript, PCL, Epson, ZjStream, etc.
