Examples

Notes

1. 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.)
