Usage: hp-makeuri [OPTIONS] [SERIAL NO.|USB ID|IP|DEVNODE]
[SERIAL NO.|USB ID|IP|DEVNODE]
| USB IDs (usb only): | "xxx:yyy" where xxx is the USB bus ID and yyy is the USB device ID. The ':' and all leading zeroes must be present. |
| (Use the 'lsusb' command to obtain this information. See Note 1.) | |
| IPs (network only): | IPv4 address "a.b.c.d" or "hostname" |
| DEVNODE (parallel only): | "/dev/parportX", X=0,1,2,... |
| SERIAL NO. (usb and parallel only): | "serial no." |
[OPTIONS]
| To specify the port on a multi-port JetDirect: | -p<port> or --port=<port> (Valid values are 1*, 2, and 3. *default) |
| Show the CUPS URI only (quiet mode): | -c or --cups |
| Show the SANE URI only (quiet mode): | -s or --sane |
| Show the HP Fax URI only (quiet mode): | -f or --fax |
| Set the logging level: | -l<level> or --logging=<level> |
| <level>: none, info*, error, warn, debug (*default) | |
| Run in debug mode: | -g (same as option: -ldebug) |
| This help information: | -h or --help |
Examples:
| USB: | $ hp-makeuri 001:002 |
| Network: | $ hp-makeuri 66.35.250.209 |
| Parallel: | $ hp-makeuri /dev/parport0 |
| USB or parallel (using serial number): | $ hp-makeuri US123456789 |
Notes:
| Example using 'lsusb' to obtain USB bus ID and USB device ID (example only, the values you obtain will differ) : |
| $ lsusb |
| Bus 003 Device 011: ID 03f0:c202 Hewlett-Packard |
| $ hp-makeuri 003:011 |
| (Note: You may have to run 'lsusb' from /sbin or another location. Use '$ locate lsusb' to determine this.) |
