✨ NAME ✨

hp-devicesettings — the Device Setup Utility, bestie 💅 (and yes, the man page as shipped literally prints 0p-devicesettings in the NAME line, a little typo gremlin, we love her anyway 🫶)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so this is the device settings utility for printers that HPLIP supports. That's it, that's the job 💖

Heads up though — not all printers require the use of this utility. So if yours doesn't care, don't force it, she's fine 🌸

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

hp-devicesettings [DEVICE_URI|PRINTER_NAME] [OPTIONS]

🦋 PRINTER|DEVICE-URI 🦋

Pick your vibe: are you pointing at a raw device URI, or at a CUPS printer? Both are valid, queen 👑

To specify a device-URI:

  • -d<device-uri> or --device=<device-uri> — hand over the device URI directly

To specify a CUPS printer:

  • -p<printer> or --printer=<printer> — name the CUPS printer instead

💖 OPTIONS 💖

Set the logging level:

  • -l<level> or --logging=<level> — turn the logging dial to whatever you need. The <level> options are: none, info*, error, warn, debug — and the * on info means it's the default, so if you say nothing, you get info 🍓

Run in debug mode:

  • -g — same as option: -ldebug. Full chaos mode, maximum yapping in your terminal, but make it useful 🔥

This help information:

  • -h or --help — prints this help info, the classic "wait what were the flags again" rescue 🙈

  • hp-toolbox
