Ubuntu – How to install the printer installer on Ubuntu Server with Openbox

openboxprintingserver

I want to install the printer (connected to the computer) using the printer installer which is founded in default installations of Ubuntu that come with some graphical part (Gnome, Unity etc).

There is a GUI tool which detects the printer and you can easily install it.

How can I install it on Ubuntu Server running Openbox?

Best Answer

you can install the system-config-printer like that found in Unity:

sudo apt-get install system-config-printer-gnome

Now you can run it from terminal:

system-config-printer

If you don't have cups installed, you can install it:

sudo apt-get install cups
