FOOMATIC-SEARCHPRINTER(1)

💖 NAME 💖

foomatic-searchprinter — the lil bestie that goes digging through the Foomatic database for you 🕵️♀️✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

foomatic-searchprinter [-mM] [-dD] SEARCHTERM

foomatic-searchprinter -h

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so literally what this does: it shows you the Foomatic database entries that match SEARCHTERM. That's the whole vibe. You give it a word, it gives you printers. Slay. 💅

🎀 Options 🎀

• -mM — the search mode, aka how picky are we being today. Here's the whole menu:
  • M = 0 — match everything. Yes, everything. This is the default, it's giving chill. 🦋
  • M = 1 — no matches on only the manufacturer
  • M = 2 — no matches on only the manufacturer or only the model
  • M = 3 — exact matches of device ID, make/model, or Foomatic ID, plus matches of the page description language in the device ID to the appropriate "Generic" printers
  • M = 4 — exact matches of device ID, make/model, or Foomatic ID only. No extras, no add-ons, periodt. 👑
• -dD — display results, aka how much of the haul do you wanna see:
  • D = 0 — everything
  • D = 1 — only the best match class. This one's the default, bestie 💖
  • D = 2 — only the best match
• -h — show the help message and exit. Classic. Iconic. 🫶
