Configuring a printer on a server without a GUI

[Dario Lesca]

>From console or a ssh shell run:

$ sudo cupsctl _remote_admin=1
$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=631/tcp
$ sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=631/tcp

Then point your browser to https://ip.of.our.host:631/admin and add your
printer.

Or to work only from command line use lpstat, lpinfo and lpadmin.
Some example:
$ sudo lpinfo -m -l
$ sudo lpadmin -E -p laser1 -v socket://my.prin.ter.ip:9100 -m ./driver.ppd

Hope this (and some man type and search engines) help
