SpliX is a set of CUPS printer drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer Language)
printers. It covers several Samsung and Xerox printers. See ppd/*.ppd in
-the tarball for supported models. Only SPL2 and SPLc printers are
-currently supported; however, work is in progress to implement support
-for other SPL printers.
+the tarball for supported models. Only SPL2 and SPLc printers are supported.
-IMPORTANT NOTICE:
-If you are upgrading your current version, you MUST delete your printer
-in the CUPS interface and install it again. This operation MUST be done
-since CUPS caches a copy of the PPD file, so if the PPD changes from one
-version of splix to the next, cups will still have the cached copy.
+JBIG-KIT is an optional dependency. To build SpliX with support for JBIG printers:
+ JBIG=yes ./splix.SlackBuild
-IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT THE JBIG ALGORITHM:
-JBIG-KIT is an optional dependency for SpliX, but it seems that parts of this
-algorithm was previously or is still patented. To disable the use of JBIG, add
-NO_JBIG=1 when executing the build script: NO_JBIG=1 ./splix.SlackBuild
-Unfortunately, JBIG printers (such as the CLP-600) won't work with SpliX if
-the JBIG algorithm is disabled.
