From <http://foo2qpdl.rkkda.com/>: 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. This means that feeding the printer with a QPDL file can effectively "configure" the printer. OTOH, the CRD files are "Color Rendering Dictionaries", i.e. a color profile for PostScript files. > Why do they need to be in the distribution, and what happens if they > aren't present? Basically, the major drawback should be a color problem, as you can see From the image attached in the corresponding LaunchPad bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/foo2zjs/+bug/424546 Given that we (Debian foo2zjs maintainers) do not know where these files come from and especially their license, it is impossible for Debian to include them, even in the source package. Actually, at least upstream foo2zjs/crd/qpdl/CLP-300cms contains a clear evidence that this file should derive directly from Samsung (probably an older version of their Unified Linux Driver): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 131 <</UseCIEColor true>>setpagedevice 132 %%!PS-Adobe-3.0 133 % 134 % Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD) 135 % Source: - Samsung 136 % Description: Gogh17.0M_Per2_G135_KStart62_CMYK_L5Down 137 % Created: Fri Jun 30 20:13:57 2006 138 % 139 %%BeginResource 140 << --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Until Samsung releases its driver (or at least these files/color profiles) under a F/LOSS license, Debian can/will not include them, sorry. Unfortunately, if the your problem is caused by these missing QPDL files, then the only solution would be to add a note in the README.Debian about how to get them. However, if the problem is the misplaced files that 'getweb' downloads, then the fix is on the way. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
