✨ hp-print — the print utility era ✨

okay bestie, listen. this is hp-print from the HPLIP fam (that's HP Linux Imaging and Printing, iykyk), and she's giving you a whole manual page in the User Manuals section. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

hp-print — Print Utility. that's it, that's the name, short and iconic 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

bestie it is literally a simple print UI front-end to lp/lpr. like, a cute little face on top of your regular printing commands. no cap. 🖨️✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

hp-print [DEVICE_URI|PRINTER_NAME] [OPTIONS] [FILES]

so you can throw a device URI or a printer name at her, add some options, and point her at your files. the vibes are flexible, periodt. 🌈

👑 PRINTER|DEVICE-URI 👑

okay so you gotta tell her where to print, and you've got two whole ways to do it:

💜 To specify a device-URI:

  • -d<device-uri> or --device=<device-uri> — drop the device-URI right there and she knows what's up 🫶

💜 To specify a CUPS printer:

  • -p<printer> or --printer=<printer> — or just name the CUPS printer, easy peasy 🍓

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's where the main character energy lives:

  • -l<level> or --logging=<level> — sets the logging level, bestie. and the levels are: none, info*, error, warn, debug. the lil asterisk on info* means it's the default — so if you say nothing, she's running on info. no notes. 📝
  • -g — run in debug mode. and this one is literally the same as option: -ldebug. she's not doing anything fancy, she's just shortcutting for you 💀
  • -h or --help — this help information right here. go off, queen 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

  • hp-printsettings — your other bestie, go say hi 🧚
