install printer .ppd driver with no X
 
I've installed CentOS 5.1 and would like to install the driver
for a network Lexmark E120n printer.

Under X I usually went to the printer menu, added a network printer,
pointed to a .ppd file and that was it.

How can I do it without the X server?

thank you

cups
 
If you have CUPS running as the printer system, then you can open it's admin web interface in Lynx like:
Code:

# lynx http://localhost:631/
Command-line web browsers are not very comfortable, but should work even so.

You should also read the man pages for lp, lpr, lpoptions and alike, maybe they give a hint. http://localhost:631/help has also some infos.
