foo2lava Subpackage of foo2zjs

foo2lava is an open source printer driver for printers that use the Zenographics LAVAFLOW wire protocol for their print data, such as the Konica Minolta magicolor 1600W or the Konica Minolta magicolor 2530 DL or the Konica Minolta magicolor 1690MF or the Konica Minolta magicolor 2490 MFor the Konica Minolta magicolor 4690 MF. 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, LAVAFLOW printers are raster printers which happen to use a very efficient wire protocol which was developed by Zenographics and licensed by most major printer manufacturers for at least some of their product lines. LAVAFLOW is just one of many wire protocols that are in use today, such as Postscript, PCL, Epson, ZjStream, etc.
