Hi, Wanted to add printing support to a sort of minimal installation, but it seems like there is no yum/dnf group for printing and the system-config-printer is not available anymore. How does one go about installing printing support? Cheers

You can use cups to set up and configure your printers. -- -John (JohnDThompson@gmail.com) Appleton, WI USA

I see it in the Rocky Linux devel repo. ;-) Why don't you start your nux repo for el8/9? (hint, hint) Akemi

I think for EL9 this is partially coming from https://lwn.net/Articles/857502/ with system-config-printer being put on the backburner for the 'Internet Everywhere' stuff. For people and sites with older equipment.. it's not a great story.
