This printer language was designed by Oak Technology (now Zoran) + and is licensed by (at least) HP for the Color LaserJet 1500. The printer + language is highly efficient, but requires the host computer to render + characters, halftones, etc. + + If you have a Windows driver for your printer and the "About" panel + for the driver lists Copyright Oak Technology or Zoran, then you may have + a printer that understands the OAKT language. If you print to a file + and the first four characters of the file are "OAKT", then you have + a printer that understands the OAKT language. + + There doesn't seem to be an official name for this language. Oak + Technology calls it simply "Raster Driver". That name is not specific + enough, so we have named it "OAKT", which are the first 4 characters + found in the printer stream. + + There exists a development stage decoder and a printer driver for + this language. However, it is untested and unreleased. If someone + is willing to donate a HP Laserjet 1500 printer and fund the development + of the driver, please contact rickr@mn.rr.com. + + </en> + </comments> +</printer> |
