printer configuration
RH 7.2

I am able to configure a parallel printer using printconf-gui...but is there any way to automate this through the command line?

Through printconf-gui I configure it as a local printer, I gave it an arbitrary queue name of epson-fx-880, device is /dev/lp0, & it's a text-only printer.

Thanks in advance!

GSinterface(1)						      General Commands Manual						    GSinterface(1)

NAME

       GSinterface - LP interface script for using ghostscript under lpsched

SYNOPSIS

       GSinterface [request-id] [user] [title] [copies] [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION

       This shell script is intended to be uses as an LP interface script on Solaris 2.6 and later systems.  It allows print queues to be config-
       ured under LP using Ghostscript to render for the printer.

       Configuration under lpsched is performed via the lpadmin(1M) command.

	    # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/... -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown 
		 -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface 
		 -o GS_DEVICE=(gs-device-type) 
		 [-o OutputFile=(file/device)] [-o PAPERSIZE=(size)] 
		 [-o RESOLUTION=XxY] [-o banner-type=(ascii|postscript)] 
		 [-o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=... -sIjsParams=..."]

       Valid values for the GS_DEVICE setting can be obtained from Ghostscript by running: "gs -h". This will dump a variety of information  about
       Ghostscript's  usage  and  compile time configuration.  The "Available devices:" section lists the formats that Ghostscript will render to.
       You will need to match one of these formats to the format that your printer takes as input.

EXAMPLES

       To configure a Canon Bublejet 800c (NeWSprinter CL+) printer connected to an ECP parallel port:

	    # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/ecpp0 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown 
		 -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface 
		 -o GS_DEVICE=bjc800
	    # accept printer
	    # enable printer

       To configure an HP DeskJet 990 printer connected via a USB interface using IJS support:

	    # lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/usb/lp1 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown 
		 -i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface 
		 -o GS_DEVICE=ijs 
		 -o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD -sDeviceModel='DESKJET 990' -DIjsUseOutputFD"
	    # accept printer
	    # enable printer
