💖 hp-check(1) — the dependency/version check utility, bestie edition 💖

okay so like, hi!! you're reading the manual for hp-check, aka the Dependency/Version Check Utility, from the HPLIP User Manuals. it's giving "let me make sure everything you need is actually here before you start printing" energy and honestly? we love a supportive icon. 👑

🌸 NAME 🌸

hp-check — the Dependency/Version Check Utility. she checks things. that's the whole job. 🎀

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

hp-check checks dependency versions and permissions for HPLIP. that's it, that's the vibe check. 🦋

also!! you can run it as python ./check.py from inside the HPLIP tarball, before installation. so if you're not even installed yet, she can still come through for you. no cap. 💅

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

hp-check [OPTIONS]

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -c or --compile — the compile-time check. for when you're in your build era. 🔨
  • -r or --run or --runtime — the run-time check. three whole names for one flag, she's flexible like that. ✨
  • -b or --both — compile and run-time checks, together, holding hands. this is the default btw, so if you don't pick anything she just does both. 👑
  • -l<level> or --logging=<level> — set the logging level. your choices for <level> are: none, info*, error, warn, debug. the little * on info means that's the default. 📝
  • -g — run in debug mode. this is the exact same thing as passing the option -ldebug, just shorter and cuter. 🐛
  • -t — output plain text only. no frills, no extras, just text. minimalism slay. 🎀
  • -h or --help — this help information right here. hi, you found it!! 🫶

💜 NOTES 💜

  1. if you're checking for the proper build environment for the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run), use the --compile or --both switches. 🛠️
  2. if you're checking for the proper runtime environment for a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc), use the --runtime switch. 📦
