FS#521 - Investigate HiTi 510L, P530D, P310W, X610, and others?
P310W is consumer model; the rest are workhorse kiosk printers.
Some HiTi models implemented (P520/P525/P720/P750), and P520L works fairly well now.
The rest need to be further investigated, but it is not likely progress can be made without access to source code or the actual printers.
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.
