OK, I give up. How do I configure a printer on Centos 8 Stream? I can't find any tools for doing that.
further, there doesn't seem to be a cups executable (which should allow setting up a printer) though there ARE a bunch of cups packages installed.
According to https://www.cups.org/doc/admin.html
The everywhere driver is used for nearly all modern networks printers sold since about 2009. For example, the following command creates a destination for a printer at IP address 11.22.33.44:
lpadmin -p printername -E -v ipp://11.22.33.44/ipp/print -m everywhere
On a Fedora 35 machine, which should probably be pretty close to C8S, the lpadmin executable is provided by the standard cups rpm
$ rpm -qf $(which lpadmin) cups-2.3.3op2-11.fc35.x86_64
Hope this helps, Barry
