HPLIP

Future support for hpconnect uri/login/passwd or email uri?

Asked by Larry Irwin

Have you considered allowing setup of the HP Connect web service as a HPLIP printer URI?
Something like this:
https://www.hpconnected.com/us/en?Login=MyLoGiN?Password=MyPaSsWoRd
Or this:
email://<email address hidden><email address hidden>
TIA,
Larry Irwin

Hi Suma,
I have a few Ubuntu laptops and 6 *nix servers at work.
Every now and then I need to print something out at home.
Like a Libre Office document or a GimP image file.
If a "connection" could be defined for HP Connect enabled printers that CUPS would play well with, then I could simply print to a CUPS printer and have it print out at home.
(and vice-versa - since I have 2 *nix machines at the house as well)
Thanks,
Larry
