       -n copies
              Number of copies [1].

       -r xresxyres
              Set device resolution in pixels/inch [600x600].

       -t     Draft mode.  Every other pixel is white.

       -J filename
              Filename string to send to printer.

       -U username
              Username string to send to printer.

   Printer Tweaking Options
       These  are  the options used to customize the operation of foo2hp for a
       particular printer.

       -u xoffxyoff
              Set the offset of the start of the  printable  region  from  the
              upper left corner, in pixels [0x0].

       -l xoffxyoff
              Set the offset of the end of the printable region from the lower
              right corner, in pixels [0x0].

       -L mask
              Send logical clipping amounts implied by -u/-l in  the  ZjStream
              [3].

              0   don't send any logical clipping amounts
              1   only send Y clipping amount
              2   only send X clipping amount
              3   send both X and Y clipping amounts

       -O c,m,y,k
              Alignment of CMYK in rows. The default is 0,0,0,0.

       -P     Do  not  send  START_PLANE  codes  on monochrome output.  May be
              needed by some black and white only printers,  such  as  the  HP
              LaserJet 1000.

       -A     AllIsBlack: convert C=1,M=1,Y=1 to just K=1.  Works with bitcmyk
              input only.

       -B     BlackClears: K=1 forces C,M,Y to 0.  Works  with  bitcmyk  input
              only.

       -X padlen
              Add  extra zero padding to the end of BID segments.  The default
              is 16 bytes.

   Debugging Options
       These options are used for debugging foo2hp.

       -S plane
              Output just a single color plane from a color print and print it
              on the black plane.  The default is to output all color planes.

              1   Cyan
              2   Magenta
              3   Yellow
              4   Black

       -D level
              Set Debug level [0].


EXAMPLES
       Create a black and white ZJS stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -r600x600 -sDEVICE=pbmraw
                  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
              | foo2hp -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.zm

       Create a color ZJS stream:

              gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dQUIET -dNOPAUSE
                  -sPAPERSIZE=letter -g5100x6600 -r600x600 -sDEVICE=bitcmyk
                  -sOutputFile=- - < testpage.ps
              | foo2hp -r600x600 -g5100x6600 -p1 >testpage.zc
