USE flags

  • doc - Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
  • fax - Enable fax on multifunction devices which support it
  • hpcups - Build the hpcups driver for cups (by HP)
  • hpijs - Build the IJS driver for cups (Foomatic)
  • kde - Enables kde-misc/skanlite as scanner GUI with USE="scanner X"
  • libnotify - Enable desktop notification support
  • libusb0 - Depend on virtual/libusb SLOT 0. Some old printers do not work with virtual/libusb SLOT 1.
  • minimal - Only build internal hpijs/hpcups driver (not recommended at all, make sure you know what you are doing)
  • parport - Enable parallel port for devices which require it
  • policykit - Enable PolicyKit (polkit) authentication support
  • python_single_target_python3_10 - Build for Python 3.10 only
  • python_single_target_python3_11 - Build for Python 3.11 only
  • python_single_target_python3_9 - Build for Python 3.9 only
  • qt5 - Add support for the Qt 5 application and UI framework
  • scanner - Enable scanner on multifunction devices which support it
  • snmp - Add support for net-analyzer/net-snmp which enables this driver to work over networks (both for server and client)
  • static-ppds - Use statically-generated PPDs instead of Dynamic PPDs. Although this is deprecated some printers may still need it to work properly. Use this flag if hp-setup fails to find/create a valid PPD file
  • X - Enables scanner GUI dependencies with USE="scanner" where media-gfx/xsane is preferred over media-gfx/sane-frontends
