Installs HPLIP printers and faxes in the CUPS spooler. Tries to automatically determine the correct PPD file to use. Allows the printing of a testpage. Performs basic fax parameter setup.
Usage: hp-setup [OPTIONS] [SERIAL NO.|USB ID|IP|DEVNODE]
[SERIAL NO.|USB ID|IP|DEVNODE]
| USB IDs (usb only): |
"xxx:yyy" where 'xxx' is the USB bus ID and 'yyy' is the USB device ID. (Note: The ':' and all leading zeros must be present.) |
| |
Use the 'lsusb' command to obtain this information. |
| IPs (network only): |
IPv4 address "a.b.c.d" or "hostname" |
| DEVNODE (parallel only): |
"/dev/parportX", X=0,1,2,... |
| SERIAL NO. (usb and parallel only): |
"serial no." |
[OPTIONS]
| Automatic mode: |
-a or --auto |
| To specify the port on a multi-port JetDirect: |
-p<port> or --port=<port> (Valid values are 1*, 2, and 3. *default) |
| No testpage in automatic mode: |
-x |
| To specify a CUPS printer queue name: |
-n<printer> or --printer=<printer> |
| To specify a CUPS fax queue name: |
-f<fax> or --fax=<fax> |
| Type of queue(s) to install: |
-t<typelist> or --type=<typelist>. <typelist>: print*, fax* (*default) |
| Bus to probe (if device not specified): |
-b<bus> or --bus=<bus> |
| |
<bus>: cups*, usb*, net, bt, fw, par* (*defaults) (Note: bt and fw not supported in this release.) |
| Set the logging level: |
-l<level> or --logging=<level> |
| |
<level>: none, info*, error, warn, debug (*default) |
| Run in debug mode: |
-g (same as option: -ldebug) |
| This help information: |
-h or --help |
Examples:
| One USB printer attached, automatic: |
$ hp-setup -a |
| USB, IDs specified: |
$ hp-setup 001:002 |
| Network: |
$ hp-setup 66.35.250.209 |
| Network, Jetdirect port 2: |
$ hp-setup --port=2 66.35.250.209 |
| Parallel: |
$ hp-setup /dev/parport0 |
| USB or parallel, using serial number: |
$ hp-setup US12345678A |
| USB, automatic: |
$ hp-setup --auto 001:002 |
| Parallel, automatic, no testpage: |
$ hp-setup -a -x /dev/parport0 |
| Parallel, choose device: |
$ hp-setup -b par |
Notes:
- If no serial number, USB ID, IP, or device node is specified, the USB and parallel busses will be probed for devices.
|
- Using 'lsusb' to obtain USB IDs: (example)
|
| $ lsusb |
| Bus 003 Device 011: ID 03f0:c202 Hewlett-Packard |
| $ hp-setup --auto 003:011 |
| (Note: You may have to run 'lsusb' from /sbin or another location. Use '$ locate lsusb' to determine this.) |
