Supported Distributions CUPS
The Common Unix Printing System (CUPS), a modular printing system for Unix-like
computer operating systems, allows a computer to act as a print server. A computer running
CUPS is a host that can accept print jobs from client computers, process them, and send them
to the appropriate printer.
Linux 32-bit - Ubuntu 7.10, Fedora Core 7 & 8, Red Hat Enterprise 5, openSuse 10.3,
NovelSuse 9.

Step Procedure
1
Unpack the driver tar-ball by running the following command as root from the
directory the file was downloaded to:
# tar -xzvPf fargoHDP5000-1.0.0.4-1.tgz
(Note: If an existing driver was already present on the system, it may be
necessary to restart CUPS to allow the file changes to take effect.)

Sending ISO Magnetic Encoding Information
The CUPS Driver uses URL Encoding when defining data to be encoding to the Magnetic
Stripe. Any special characters (such as start and end sentinels) must be described with URL
encoding to be recognized. See the URL Encoding Reference Reviewing the URL Encoding
Reference for additional information..
• The first character of this data string must be the track's specific Start Sentinel (SS) and
the last character must be the specific End Sentinel (ES).
• The characters or data in between the SS and ES can include all of the valid characters
specific to each track.
• The number of these characters, however, is limited by each track's maximum character
capacity.
When segmenting track data, the appropriate Field Separator (FS) must be used. The table
below shows the SS, ES, FS and the valid characters defined for each track.
