💖 NAME 💖

hp-check-plugin — bestie's fave AutoConfig utility for installing proprietary plug-ins 🎀

Like, it's the AutoConfig utility for HPLIP-supported multifunction devices, and its whole job is installing those proprietary plug-ins. Slay. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: you've got a multifunction device that HPLIP supports, and it wants a proprietary plug-in. This utility is the auto config friend who handles that for you. That's literally it. It configures and installs the plug-ins, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hp-check-plugin [OPTIONS] [USB bus:device]

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -m — install the plug-in through the HP System Tray. This is the default, bestie, so if you don't say anything else, this is what happens 👑
  • -p — install the plug-in through hp-plugin instead 🫶
  • -f — download the firmware into the device 📥
  • -h or --help — show this help info, iykyk 🙈
  • -l<level> or --logging=<level> — set the logging level. The <level> can be: none, info*, error, warn, debug. That little star next to info means it's the default, okay? ⭐
  • -g — run in debug mode. It's the same as using option -ldebug 🐛

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

Install plugin:

$hp-check-plugin 001:002

Install plugin and firmware:

$hp-check-plugin -f 001:002

🎀 NOTES 🎀

Not me having to tell you this, but -m and -p options can't be used together. Pick one. You cannot have both. Periodt. 💀
