Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install foo2qpdl on Fedora 36.

What is foo2qpdl

foo2qpdl is an open source printer driver for printers that use the QPDL wire protocol for their print data, such as the Samsung CLP-300 or the Samsung CLP-310 or the Samsung CLP-315 or the Samsung CLP-325 or the Samsung CLP-365 or the Samsung CLP-600 or the Samsung CLP-610ND or the Samsung CLP-620ND or the Xerox Phaser 6110. These printers are often erroneously referred to as winprinters or GDI printers. However, Microsoft GDI only mandates the API between an application and the printer driver, not the protocol on the wire between the printer driver and the printer. In fact, QPDL printers are raster printers which happen to use a very efficient wire protocol. QPDL is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as Postscript, PCL, Epson, ZjStream, etc.
