👑 PRINTER|DEVICE-URI 👑

You gotta tell her which printer you mean, and you've got two iconic ways to do it:

• To specify a device-URI:
  • -d<device-uri> or --device=<device-uri> — hand her the raw device-URI, no cap 🔥
• To specify a CUPS printer:
  • -p<printer> or --printer=<printer> — or just point at a CUPS printer by name 🫶

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -l<level>, --logging=<level> — set the logging level, bestie 📝 the levels are none, info*, error, warn, debug — and *default means info is the one she picks when you don't say anything, periodt 💅
• -g — run in debug mode 🐛 (same as option: -ldebug, literally the exact same vibe)
• -h, --help — prints this help information, your lil cheat sheet 🥰
