I can't remember how to install a printer on RedHat Linux 7.2. Does someone know how?

Run printconf-gui for an X-based printer configuration or printconf-tui for a text-based one. It was very simple to add printers this way (local, net, smb). They're in the printconf-gui and printconf RPM's respectively.

I tried the printconf-gui command and the system told me that it was an invalid command.

I used the printtool utility and added my printer (Lexmark 5700 B/W), but none of the test pages did anything. Printtool said that the were added to the queu did not show anything and the printer did nothing.

Try configuring you printer through the KDE printer configuration utility. it has a lot of options available for Lexmark and HP printers
