Hi everyone, I have been somewhat successfull working out a specification for the print file format of the Riso Kagaku Printer-Duplicators [1]. Details can be found on my Homepage [2]. As can be seen there, there is no driver yet. Although I have only used print job files to get the specification (eg. no disassembling or the like), I am not sure if it would be a good idea to create the driver myself or let someone else do it based on the specification (cleanroom approach). This is also the reason I have not uploaded the source code for the parser yet, as there _may_ be some IPRs of Riso involved (but unlikely). Would be glad for any comments as well as any advice for further proceedings. Greetings, Stefan PS: I have added two of these printers to the printer database, maker RisoKagaku [1] http://us.riso.com/portal/page?_pageid=253,666287&_schema=portal&_dad=portal [2] http://www.kawo1.rwth-aachen.de/~lurchi/riso/
