SpliX is a set of CUPS printer drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer Language)
|
|
|
|
|
printers. It covers several Samsung and Xerox printers. See ppd/*.ppd in
|
|
|
|
|
the tarball for supported models. Only SPL2 and SPLc printers are
|
|
|
|
|
currently supported; however, work is in progress to implement support
|
|
|
|
|
for other SPL printers.

This requires cupsddk and jbigkit, both of which are available at
|
|
|
|
|
SlackBuilds.org).

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
|
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading your current version, you MUST delete your printer
|
|
|
|
|
in the CUPS interface and install it again. This operation MUST be done
|
|
|
|
|
since CUPS caches a copy of the PPD file, so if the PPD changes from one
|
|
|
|
|
version of splix to the next, cups will still have the cached copy.
|

|
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT THE JBIG ALGORITHM:
|
|
|
|
|
JBIG-KIT is an optional dependency for SpliX, but it seems that parts of this
|
|
|
|
|
algorithm was previously or is still patented. To disable the use of JBIG, add
|
|
|
|
|
NO_JBIG=1 when executing the build script:
|
|
|
|
|
NO_JBIG=1 ./splix.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, JBIG printers (such as the CLP-600) won't work with SpliX if
|
|
|
|
|
the JBIG algorithm is disabled.
