DESCRIPTION

hbpldecode decodes a HBPL stream into human readable form. HBPL is Host Based Printer

There are two versions of HBPL in existence.

Version one is an HBPL stream with JBIG2 (?) data. This data is used by the Dell 1250c,
Dell C1660w, Epson AcuLaser C1700, Fuji-Xerox cp105b, and similar printers. These
printers are unsupported.

Version two is an HBPL stream with JBIG encoded data. This data is used by the Xerox

printers are supported by foo2hbpl2-wrapper et al.

Both versions can be decoded by hbpldecode.
