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. |
