       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"

              -p<port> or --port=<port> (Valid values are 1*, 2, and 3. *default)

       Show the CUPS URI only (quiet mode):
              -c or --cups

       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
       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.)
