FS#654 - Validate / Test Nidac Copal printers

DPB-4000 aka Fujifilm ASK4000 aka DNP Q8.

DPB-6000 aka Fujifilm ASK2000

DPB-7000 aka Fujifilm ASK2500

 

All models are in Gutenprint, and DBP-6000 is reported to work without any special backend.  But I want to confirm the rest work, and maybe write a backend so we can run status queries etc?

User popped up with an ASK-2500 claiming "incorrect colors". Still trying to find out what that means.

Problem appears to be the color planes are mis-registered.  Not sure what can be done about that.

Interestingly, the printer appears to use the same communication protocol as the older Sony UPD models!  So a backend can be written, but.. still need access to one.

Preliminary support added to the sonupd backend.  Still need to parse and otherwise handle the spool format.

Full backend support for the ASK-2500/DPB-7000. Required a change to gutenprint too. Need confirmation it's good before I push to gutenprint proper.
