Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling theHPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependenciesare installed to successfully compile HPLIP. 2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run. 3.
