<p>Most distributions provide their own setup utility or GUI for installing HP devices. Check with your distribution for HPLIP support.</p>
<p>HPLIP comes with a HP Setup utility (hp-setup). This command line utility can quickly and automatically setup print and/or fax queues for HPLIP supported devices. HP-setup can be used as a reference for creating a generalized device setup GUI.</p>
<p>Follow the appropriate steps for how you want to setup your printer:</p>
<p><a class="reference" href="setup/index.html">Add the printer using HP-SETUP</a> (hp-setup will <em>not</em> work with HPLIP 0.9.7 and below)</p>
<p><a class="reference" href="cups/index.html">Add the printer using the CUPS web interface</a></p>
<p><a class="reference" href="suse/index.html">Add the printer in SUSE using YasT</a></p>
<p><em>Note</em>: For additional setup options using the <a class="reference" href="../../tech_docs/man_pages/setup.html">hp-setup</a> tool type "hp-setup --help" at your console/terminal window or view this <a class="reference" href="../../tech_docs/man_pages/setup.html">man page</a>.</p>
