DOWNLOAD: jpeg_to_turbo
I've written a program jpeg_to_turbo, which makes use of jpeg.library
and the Turboprint API to enable jpeg's to be printed via
Turboprint 3,4,5,6,7. This gives a method for people to print docs
who have Turboprint 3,4,5,6. Currently it only accepts 24 bit rgb
jpegs as input, such jpegs are produced by -sDEVICE=jpeg
So to print a pdf doc by this method you would do:
gs_000 -sDEVICE=jpeg -dJPEGQ=100 -sOutputFile=t:xyz%d.jpeg xyz.pdf
Then to print eg the first page:
jpeg_to_turbo t:xyz1.jpeg
My turboprint testers tell me it functions! I've never seen it in action myself!
Eventually I shall develop it further, a lot of improvements are possible by making fuller use of the jpeg.library + Turboprint API facilities.
Meanwhile work continues on getting -sDEVICE=turboprint
to function.
