SERIAL NO.|USB ID|IP|DEVNODE
USB bus:device (usb only):
"xxx:yyy" where 'xxx' is the USB bus and 'yyy' is the USB de-

Use the 'lsusb' command to obtain this information.

$ hp-setup 192.168.0.101
One USB printer attached, automatic:
$ hp-setup -i -a
USB, IDs specified:
$ hp-setup -i 001:002
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
Parallel, automatic, no testpage:
$ 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.)
