Serial no.|usb id|ip|devnode
- USB bus:device (usb only):
-
"xxx:yyy" where 'xxx' is the USB bus and 'yyy' is the USB device. (Note: The ':' and all leading zeros must be present.) Use the 'lsusb' command to obtain this information.
- IPs (network only):
-
IPv4 address "a.b.c.d" or "hostname"

Network:
|
$ hp-setup -i 66.35.250.209 |
Network, Jetdirect port 2:
|
$ hp-setup -i --port=2 66.35.250.209 |
Parallel:
|
$ hp-setup -i /dev/parport0 |
USB or parallel, using serial number:

$ hp-setup -i US12345678A |
USB, automatic:
|
$ hp-setup -i --auto 001:002 |

|
$ hp-setup -i -a -x /dev/parport0 |
Parallel, choose device:
|
$ hp-setup -i -b par |
Notes
- 1. If no serial number, USB ID, IP, or device node is specified, the USB and parallel busses will be probed for devices.
- 2. Using 'lsusb' to obtain USB IDs: (example)
- $ lsusb
- Bus 003 Device 011: ID 03f0:c202 Hewlett-Packard
- $ hp-setup --auto 003:011
- (Note: You may have to run 'lsusb' from /sbin or another location. Use '$ locate lsusb' to determine this.)
- 3. Parameters -a, -f, -p, or -t are not valid in GUI (-u) mode.
