I received a "pdf" by e-mail, which appears to be using Brother Host
Based printing, based on:
thufir at dur:~/Documents$
thufir at dur:~/Documents$ pdfinfo mystery.pdf
Syntax Warning: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table
thufir at dur:~/Documents$
thufir at dur:~/Documents$ evince mystery.pdf
Syntax Warning: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
Syntax Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
Syntax Error: Couldn't read xref table
thufir at dur:~/Documents$
thufir at dur:~/Documents$ head mystery.pdf -n 2
%-12345X at PJL
@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = HBP
thufir at dur:~/Documents$
I can't really make heads or tails of this. Can I convert this to pdf
somehow? I downloaded the only documentation I could find:
http://hbp-for-brother.sourceforge.net/
but the readme wasn't terribly informative. What is host based
printing? I would like to read the data, or, at least, "print" to a pdf.
How can I do so?
thanks,
thufir
