printingserver
I'm building an application that will need to print from the server. I have lots of printers on the network. All Ubuntu and Windows desktops can see them when browsing network printers. I want to print to one of the network printers using the default settings already setup for the printer on the network.
How do i add a network printer to Ubuntu Server (no GUI)?
If I understand your question correctly, you are trying to connect to a printer on a Windows print server. To do this, you want to connect to your printer using a technology known as Samba.
Start the Printers application, and click the Add Printer button. In the window that appears, click the Network Printer tree and then the Windows Printer via SAMBA item.
In the entry box, type the name of the print server, a /, then the name of your printer, for example, SST-DC5/COPIER.
Then follow the instructions as if you were adding a regular printer.

You can use CUPS for that. Install it by typing
sudo apt install cupsHere's their documentation on how to set up network printers: https://www.cups.org/doc/network.html
