SPP-2020 is a cheap photo printer from Samsung. The print quality is
|
|
great and usage costs are acceptable. However the manufacturer doesn't
|
|
provide a Linux driver which is somewhat strange for Samsung.
|
|
|
|
The rastertospp is a CUPS raster converter that takes a cups-raster as
|
|
its input, and on the output spits a stream of data suitable for direct
|
|
sending to the printer. This is one possible form of a driver for CUPS,
|
|
the one which makes most sense in the case of this printer.
|
|
|
|
Print quality of this driver seems the same as from the Windows driver,
|
|
no color profiling is done. As of version 1.1 there is an "Avoid
|
|
clipping" option (default: on) which in some cases yields better results
|
|
than stock Windows driver.
|
|
|
|
Data format suitable for the printer was derived by analysing several
|
|
print-to-files made on Windows.
|
|
|
|
Only best-quality on 4x6" (~10-15cm) photo paper is implemented but it
|
|
seems the only use-case anyway.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The ppd file required for this printer is located in
|
|
/usr/share/cups/model/Samsung. It's called Samsung_SPP-2020.ppd.
