What does --disable-network-build exactly mean?

Hello,

if HPLIP is compiled with "--disable-network-build",
there is no longer "network support".

But what exactly does this mean?

I assume the following:

1.
No CUPS DeviceURI like "hp:/net/..." will work,
but network printers can still be used with HPIJS
via the generic CUPS backends "socket" and/or "lpd".

2.
No SANE device ID like "hpaio:/net/..." will work,
therefore there is no network scanner support at all.

3.
No device status and no device maintenance via hp-toolbox
neither for network printers nor for network scanners.

Is this list complete or did I miss something?


Kind Regards,
Johannes Meixner
