💅 hp-printsettings — the Printer Settings Utility, bestie

okay so picture this: you've got an HP printer, and you wanna tweak its little settings, its options, its whole vibe. that's literally what this is. hp-printsettings is the printer settings (options) utility for HPLIP-supported printers. no cap. 🖨️✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

hp-printsettings [DEVICE_URI|PRINTER_NAME] [OPTIONS]

that's it, that's the whole shape of it. you point it at a printer, you hand it some options, it does its thing. slay. 💅

🦋 PRINTER | DEVICE-URI 🦋

so like, you gotta tell it which printer you're talking to, and you've got two whole ways to do that. pick your fighter:

  • -d<device-uri> or --device=<device-uri> — this one's for specifying a device-URI directly. raw, unfiltered, straight to the device. iykyk. 🔥
  • -p<printer> or --printer=<printer> — and this one's for specifying a CUPS printer. comfy, cozy, cups-flavored. ☕🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

the good stuff. the toppings. let's go:

  • -l<level> or --logging=<level> — sets the logging level, aka how chatty this thing is gonna be. the levels are: none, info*, error, warn, debug. and yes bestie, that little star on info means it's the default. 👑
  • -g — runs it in debug mode. literally the same as doing -ldebug. same energy, shorter typing. 🐛
  • -h or --help — prints this help information. your girl when you're lost. 💖
