+
+ OAKT printers understand a simple printer language that uses JBIG
+ compression to send a bitmap (raster) image of the printed page to the
+ printer. 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.
