FS#521 - Investigate HiTi 510L, P530D, P310W, X610, and others?

P310W is consumer model; the rest are workhorse kiosk printers.

P530D is a duplexing variant of the P52x series. 

X610 is a tandem printhead high-throughput model that can spit out panoramas over 4 feet long.

P510 series has a binary-only driver

P110 series has a binary-only driver

There are also other unknown variations, P518A, P728, P310L.

Looks like it uses a similar spoolfile format as the P110S; that is to say completely opaque and apparently compressed.

The actual printer comms are more sane, but realistically I will need direct access to the printers in order to set-an-option-and-watch-the-output-carefully.

Hiti has released source code for both the P52x and P7xx series, in the form of a CUPS driver.  One caveat -- HiTi claims it's "open source" but there's no license listed.  All files include the phrase "All Rights Reserved".

Meanwhile, the P530 and X610 have no Linux driver.

The P530D is a duplexing printer. Interesting.

X610 and M610 are distinct models, with different drivers! M610 is 0D16/0010 X610 is 0D16/0800 Plus: P310 is 0D16/050A P720 is 0D16/0009 P520 is 0D16/0502 P530 is 0D16/000f P750 is 0D16/0501

It appears that the M610 is a rebadged Sinfonia S2245/S3.

X610 is a very high speed (1.5/3.0s for 6x4 in std/hq mode) model, which explains the apparent duplication in functionality.

I now have a P520L plugged into my printer wall. Wrote enough code to alow serial number to be queried.

I can now query most runtime data on the P520L, and am able to at least parse the high-level structure of the windows printjobs. Data compression algorithm is still unknown. Good news is that most of this work will carry over to other HiTi models.

P520L is now working! Still have some features to flesh out but it's perfectly usable now.

P525, P720, and P750L code is also complete, but untested.

X610 is a triple-head monster capable of 6x4->6x54" panoramas! Would be _really_ cool to get my hands on one of those, but the price is likely to be prohibitive.

HiTi P51x heat tables added to backend. Needs testing, naturally.
