[cups] intall printer through cups

[Haines, Brandan]

Faisal:

If I understand you correctly, you would putty into your server and want to create a printer without having access to the GUI web interface for CUPS.  If that is the case, the answer is: yes, you can do that with lpadmin.  Here is just one sample, of course, you can find more details on using lpadmin on cups.org or man lpadmin

lpadmin -p <printername> -E -v socket://<ipaddress>:9100 -L "<label>" -D "<description>" -m raw

Hi All,

I do have to install CUPS 2.1.0 new features for printing .

I don't have access to Internet  on my Server . I would be using putty session to install printer in IBM AIX server . Would I be able to install without a GUI web interface?
