What is the printer model which you want to install?
In general do the following for command line printer installation:
lpinfo -m | grep -i '<printer model name or part of it>'
You get one or more lines of output, each representing a PPD file/driver
for your printer. The lines consist of
<PPD URI> <make> <model> [<driver>]
Copy the PPD URI (it has never spaces and it ends always before the
first space) for the desired make/model/driver.
To find the device URI, run
lpinfo -v
and copy the desired device URI.
Run the following command line to create the queue:
lpadmin -p <queue name> -E -v <device URI> -m <PPD URI>
Find options via
lpoptions -p <queue name> -l
Set option defaults via
lpadmin -p <queue name> -o <option>=<value>
Set default printer via
lpadmin -d <queue name>
