Go to the bottom for faster results.
Download: foo2zjs.tar.gz
Untar the file to a directory, enter the directory, and perform the following (BE ROOT!):
Compile:
$ make
Get extra files from the web, such as .ICM profiles for color correction,
and firmware. Select the model number for your printer:
$ ./getweb 2430 # Get Minolta 2430 DL .ICM files
$ ./getweb 2300 # Get Minolta 2300 DL .ICM files
$ ./getweb 2200 # Get Minolta 2200 DL .ICM files
$ ./getweb cpwl # Get Minolta Color PageWorks/Pro L .ICM files
$ ./getweb 1020 # Get HP LaserJet 1020 firmware file
$ ./getweb 1018 # Get HP LaserJet 1018 firmware file
$ ./getweb 1005 # Get HP LaserJet 1005 firmware file
$ ./getweb 1000 # Get HP LaserJet 1000 firmware file
Install driver, foomatic XML files, and extra files:
$ su OR $ sudo make install
# make install
(Optional) Configure hotplug (USB; HP LJ 1000/1005/1018/1020):
# make install-hotplug OR $ sudo make install-hotplug
(Optional) If you use CUPS, restart the spooler:
# make cups OR $ sudo make cups
Then open up your CUPS, Add a printer, choose LPD/LPR Host printer.
For the device URL type "lpd://PRINTER_IP/magi" while replacing PRINTER_IP with your printer's IP.
Then do the rest of the steps and print a test page. It should work. If not, you made a mistake or this is obsolete. You make the call.
Faster steps.
Note: This is only for the magicolor 2200.
