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.
