Reverse Engineering the Samsung ML-2010 laser printer [software/01134173186]
Ingrid recently bought a Samsung ML-2010 laser printer. The price was
attractive, and it seems to be a good printer. However, there is either the
choice of a an open-source driver for a different printer model, one which
doesn't support the 1200x600DPI mode, or a closed-source driver which comes on
the included CDROM.
I'm going to try to reverse engineer the new format, which is called " SPL II "
in the GUI and " QPDL " in the generated file ( @PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = QPDL ).
My approach is to print a postscript file using the binary driver, saving the
result to a local file. At no time do I plan to disassemble the binary
software provided by Samsung.
