hp-colorcal 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for hp-colorcal — it lives in the User Manuals section of the manual pages, and it's your lil' glow-up tool for printer cartridges. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

hp-colorcal — Printer Cartridge Color Calibration Utility 🎨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So like. This utility does color calibration on HPLIP-supported inkjet printers. That's it, that's the job. 🖨️✨

Heads up bestie: not all printers require the use of this utility. So don't just run it because it's cute — check first. 🙈

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

hp-colorcal [DEVICE_URI|PRINTER_NAME] [MODE] [OPTIONS]

the whole vibe in one line, periodt. 👑

🎀 PRINTER|DEVICE-URI 🎀

you gotta tell it who you're talking to, and you've got two ways to do that:

  • -d<device-uri> or --device=<device-uri> — specify a device-URI directly, like you're sliding into its DMs. 📱
  • -p<printer> or --printer=<printer> — specify a CUPS printer by name instead. 🖨️

pick your fighter, iykyk. 💫

✨ MODE ✨

  • -i or --interactive — run in interactive mode. it asks you stuff, you answer. a whole conversation. 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's where the main character energy really kicks in:

  • -l<level> or --logging=<level> — set the logging level. the levels are: none, info*, error, warn, debug. the little * on info means it's the default, no cap. 📝
  • -g — run in debug mode. this is literally the same as option -ldebug. same thing, different font. 🐛
  • -h or --help — show this help information. when in doubt, ask for help bestie. 🙋‍♀️
