Some low to mid-end Minolta lasers such as the Magicolor 2300 DL (Minolta 2300DL) use a host based GDI driver based on technology from Zenographics. Users running early versions of PaperCut should update to the latest version to ensure full support for this and other Minolta printers. This driver will also work for the HP LaserJet 1018, 1020, 1022, P2035, and other Zenographics-based printers. PPD files (and the Foomatic XML files to generate them) come with the driver, therefore we do not supply PPDs here on the OpenPrinting site.

The following information is provided as is, and the authors take no responsibility for the correctness.

Background

Zenographics Printers Drivers

The Zj-RCA controller for the Minolta 3001 color laser printer was the first of its kind. While other host-based printing systems with very simple engine interfaces have been built, the Zj-RCA controller was the first to solve the problem with a standard parallel interface, with high performance and while maintaining a low controller cost. Other host-based printers have at least one significant drawback. The Minolta 3001 Zj was the first truly practical host-based color printing system.

ZjStream printers are often erroneously referred to as win-printers or GDI-printers. However, Microsoft GDI only mandates the API between an application and the printer driver, not the protocol on the wire between the printer driver and the printer. In fact, ZjStream printers are raster printers which happen to use a very efficient wire protocol.

ZjStream is licensed by most major printer manufacturers for at least some of their product lines. ZjStream is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as Postscript, PCL, Epson, etc.

Spooling on Windows

The Zenographics SuperPrint/SuperRip drivers typically use IMF - Zenographics SuperPrint/SuperRip spool file format on Windows, for spooling prior to converting into ZjStream.
