foo2hiperc is a printer driver for printers that
use the HIPERC wire protocol for their print data,
such as the Oki C3400n and the Oki C5500n. It uses
Ghostscript to perform all of the heavy lifting
(image processing). There are five major
components: foo2hiperc (the page image to protocol
conversion engine of the driver);
foo2hiperc-wrapper (runs ghostscript and
foo2hiperc in a pipeline); icc2ps (converts an ICM
color profile to a Postscript CRD, which is then
fed into Ghostscript before the user's Postscript
program); foomatic-db (foomatic database entries
that describe the supported printers and their
options so that printer spoolers know how to
access the printer using foo2hiperc-wrapper); and
hipercdecode (a tool for developers to inspect
HIPERC streams).
